Option 1: 1/1-octave real-time filters

text

Parallel 1/1-octave real-time filters covering the 0,5 Hz – 16 kHz frequency range.
To enhance readability, the frequency range may be limited to 8Hz – 16 kHz.
All filters fulfil the IEC 61260 class 1 digital IIR base 10 requirements.
120 dB “one-range” even in the filter bands.
Results are displayed both graphically and numerically.
A-preweighting feature available on displayed results.

When fitted with option 1, the Nor140 can perform real time frequency analysis in octaves covering the frequency bands 0.5 Hz to 16 kHz in one range. A limited frequency range 8 Hz – 16 kHz can be set in order to avoid low frequency noise. A 3 Hz 3rd order high pass filter is then enabled in the analogue input stage to prevent overload due to low frequency noise. The wide frequency range with full dynamic range of more than 120 dB makes the instrument well suited for both vibration and noise measurements.

text

Compare any measured frequency spectrum with a pre-selected reference spectrum.
Both upper and lower reference spectrum available.
“Go/NoGo” warning for quality control applications.

The reference spectra feature is used for comparison of any measured frequency spectrum with a pre-selected user defined spectrum. It functions for 1/1-octave, 1/3 octave and the spectral weighting networks. The measured spectrum may be compared to an upper limit, a lower limit or both. If the measured signal exceeds the boundaries, a “NoGo” warning is given on the screen,and a digital signal is set on the I/O port. This is useful for many applications such as product control and spectrum comparison.

Option 2 requires that minimum option 1 be installed!

Nor140 Option 2 – 1/1-octave reference spectrum

A limited frequency range covering 6.3 Hz – 20 kHz can be set to avoid low frequency noise. A 3 Hz 3rd order high pass filter is then enabled in the analogue input stage to prevent overload due to low frequency noise.

The wide frequency range with full dynamic range of more than 120 dB makes the instrument well suited for both vibration and noise measurements.

Option 3 requires that minimum option 1 be installed.

Parallel statistical calculation on both A- and C-/Z-weighted networks.
If real-time filters are installed (option 1 or 3), statistical calculations are available for the individual filter bands as well.

Option 4 adds statistical distribution to the Nor140 functionality. There are eight percentiles shown, out of which one is user selectable. The class width is 0.2 dB over the entire 130 dB range.

The statistical distribution calculations employs the F time constant and applies to the spectral weighting networks (A and C or Z) as well as all the individual 1/1 and 1/3-octave filter bands (if applicable). The back-erase feature, which deletes up to the ten most recent seconds of acquired global data prior to a pause upon resuming, updates the statistics buffers as well to maintain consistency.

The enhanced time profile mode allows logging of Leq, Lmax, Lmin, Lpeak, Le and SPL for all weighting networks and frequency bands for time constant F, S and I in parallel if option 5 parallel time constant is enabled. The user may select from one to all available parameters to log. The time resolution is from 5 ms logging to memory. If the frequency analysis option is installed, these values may be measured too, both as time profile multi spectrum values and as global values.

User controlled source coding
With option 7, the instrument gets eight marker functions, where as four are user defined. Three of these are single markers and one is a toggle marker.

Option 7 requires that minimum option 6 be installed.

Option 8: Sound recording

text

Storage of the sound signal itself onto the SD card or the internal memory.
Triggered by an external hand-switch, by a level trigger or by a manual key push
8, 16 or 24 bit accuracy.
12 or 48 kHz sampling.
0 – 96 dB digital gain.
Reference calibration tone can be added at the beginning of the first recording in a measurement.

Option 8 allows storing the sound signal itself onto the SD card or the internal memory of Nor140 sound analyser. This option is especially useful for source identification. The sound recording can be trigged by an external hand switch, by a level trigger (requires option 16) or by a manual key push.

Several recording formats are supported, ranging from 8, 16 or 24 bit and with sampling rates of 12 or 48 kHz. Using 48 kHz sampling and the stored sound signal may be used for further processing. The Nor140 has a large dynamic range – exceeding 120 dB. This means that if you try to play back the signal on your PC you will – in most cases – hear nothing!

To overcome this problem a special digital gain, 0 – 96 dB, can be added to the sound recorded signal without affecting the calibration or measured values. Another useful feature is that you may play a 10 sec reference tone – sine wave, pink or white noise in the beginning of a measurement to set a reference level when later replaying recorded data.

Option 8 requires that minimum option 6 be installed.

text

Calculates the STIPA speech transmission index.
Fulfils the requirements of the IEC 60268-16 ed. 5 Standard for STIPA.
Download standardized signal excitation from our webpage, for use through separate public address loudspeaker system.

Background noise correction
Adding STIPA option to Nor140 turns the analyser into a powerful tool for analysing the Speech Transmission quality in public areas. The method can be used to compare the speech trans-mission quality at various positions and under various conditions within the same listening space. STIPA replaces the former used RASTI method as a more accurate method compared to RASTI.

A measurement in one listening position takes about 13 sec. Unlike many other STIPA measurement systems, the Nor140 can also correct the results for the background noise. In addition all calculated indexes are displayed, not only the single STIPA value. This feature is valuable for engineers optimising the room acoustics in public spaces or other areas where the speech quality is important.
