We’ve had a question that has been asked through our Blog form (the Do you have a questions box on the right) and the question is:

“How we can calculate average for a large data (e.g.24 hours data records of per second each) after downloading multiple files from the meter.

Simple averaging can be produced will not represent the level of energy of a record. For example, 45, 46, 48, 43, 78, 79, 71, 33, 55 levels, the simple arithmetic average would be 55.3.

But the energy level of noise for 78, 79 and 71 is high compared to other values so how can we calculate the average now?“.

This is an interesting question and one that we get asked quite frequently.

There are some applications where you would use a simple linear average to calculate a value from noise measurements but these are few and often very specific. Continue reading »

As we move into 2013, we’re looking forward to another busy year at Cirrus.

Throughout the year we’ll be presenting our sound level meters, noise dosimeters and environmental noise monitoring equipment at a number of trade shows and exhibitions and below is a list of those that we’re currently attending as an exhibitor.

If you’re planning on visiting any of these, let us know and we’d be pleased to see you.

IOSH 2013, February 26th 2013, Excel, London, UK

Safety & Health Expo, May 14th 2013, NEC, Birmingham, UK

AIHce , May 18th 2013, Montreal, Canada

ASSE 2013, June 24th 2013, Las Vegas, USA

Internoise 2013, September 15th 2013, Innsbruck, Austria

NSC Congress & Expo, September 30th 2013, Chicago, USA

These exhibitions are an ideal opportunity to meet with our sales team and to find out what’s new at Cirrus.

We’d also recommend that you subscribe to our blog as we’re about to start a new series of posts covering the most common noise terminology and parameters.

We’ve had a number of requests from both existing customers and visitors to our blog where they’ve asked us to explain what a particular term means or what a parameter on their instrument shows.

Over the next few months we’ll be covering the most common of these so if you’ve got any questions let us know and we can add it to the list! You can use the “Do you have a question” form on the right.
