Online interactive sound level meters now available from Brüel & Kjær

Online noise monitoring is now possible as Brüel & Kjær have developed high-speed, web-browser functionality for their family of hand-held analysers.



The innovative design provides operators with remote control access to the instrument - or instruments - from a mobile phone, PDA, iPhone or PC with Internet browser capability.

It allows the user to monitor prevailing noise levels in real-time, manage the measurement setup and retrieve measurement data, thereby keeping the operator in touch with their measurements at all times. Because the remote-connection functionality is hosted in the instrument, the user does not need any special software installed on their PC or phone. Any web browser can access the remote instrument without a complex setup. 



Brüel & Kjær’s 2250, 2250 Light and 2270 meters are simply required to be active on a WLAN connection or available on the Internet via a 3G, GPRS, EDGE or GPRS router connection. The user enters the unique IP address - or address label - of the instrument into the Internet address field on the browser to access the instrument via a mimic keyboard and touch screen display.
 


The 2250 or 2270 can also be configured to automatically send an SMS text or e-mail status message when pre-defined conditions or events occur. This is primarily designed for unattended monitoring and serves to keep the operator informed of measurement progress or factors affecting measurement quality.
