Hand-held Analyzer Types 2250 and 2270 – User Manual
If you select the tone assessment method according to the ISO 1996-2, Annex D standard, you
can accept the default setup according to that standard. You can then change the various tone
parameters according to your needs (apart from the ISO 226 parameter which is greyed-out)
and proceed directly to the measurement.
If you select the tone assessment method according to Italian Law (that is, you select
DM 16-03-1998), then you have accepted the default setup for that standard, and the only
parameter you can change is the ISO 226 parameter. Select one of the diffuse- or free-field
contour options available from the parameter drop-down (which appears when you tap the
parameter). For more details and for information on how to set up individual tone assessment
parameters, see the following section.
15.4.2 Setting up a Measurement Manually
ISO 1996–2, Annex D
When tone assessment according to ISO 1996-2, Annex D is selected, you can set the division
between the Low and Middle frequency range, the division between the Middle and High
frequency range, and also the limits for the level differences between adjacent bands – see
Fig.15.5. (You can also refer to Fig.15.1 for a definition of the frequency ranges and level
differences.)
Fig.15.5
Left: Setting the ‘Low
Freq. Last Band’
parameter
Right: Setting the ‘Level
Difference Low’
parameter
You set the division between the Low/Middle frequency range by selecting the required value
for the Last (or highest) Band in the Low frequency range (from 12.5 Hz to 315 Hz), and set
the division between the Middle/High frequency range by selecting the required value for the
Last (or highest) Band in the Middle frequency range (from 160 Hz to 20 kHz).
The ISO method does not state which frequency weighting should be used, so in the default
setup, A-weighing is selected. However, this is not described in the ISO method, so no
warnings will be generated if you select other frequency weightings.
