The DSM20 is a low-cost, compact, battery-powered sound level meter capable of unattended logging (recording) of the decibel level of an environment for days, weeks or months. Data logging can be started or stopped by pushing a button on the unit, eliminating the need to bring a laptop to the job site.
After a data log has been captured and stored, it can be uploaded as a .txt file to any PC running the Windows®7 or Windows® XP operating system after plugging the DSM20 into one of the computer’s USB ports. The DSM20’s internal flash memory is large enough to store up to 32000 data points. Included with the product—which is slightly larger than a thumb drive—is a mini-disc with the drivers needed to interface the unit to the computer, as well as software that can display a data log file as a table or graph and/or export it to Microsoft Excel. Exporting to Excel is recommended for sophisticated trending and analysis of sound level data and easy detection of unexpected excursions.
