8.4.1.1 Instantaneous Record Mode
The Instantaneous Record Mode records instantaneous values at a rate defined by the Instant Rate.
This record mode allows for more flexibility in post-processing, but creates much larger files.
Use this record mode is recommended for taking short measurements that require high temporal
resolution like impulsive events.

Post-Processing Options
The available operations for this record mode on post-processing are:
• Free event masking on the time-history
• Free redefinition of averaging periods
• Calculating stats on Global SPL and 1/3 Octave SPL Spectrum
8.4.1.2 Average Record Mode
The Average Record Mode records averaged values at a rate defined by the Leq Average Time. This
record creates smaller files, but allows for less flexibility in post-processing.
This record mode is recommended for taking long measurements that do not require high temporal
resolution such as environmental noise measurements.
