Introduction

Fig. 1 A typical 2260 spectrum display 2260 Investigator is a precision sound analyzer platform, and is supplied
using BZ 7206 software with Sound Analysis Software BZ 7210. To expand the functionality of
2260 Investigator, you can load Sound Analysis Software BZ 7201, En-
hanced Sound Analysis Software BZ 7202, or Enhanced Sound Analysis
20 kHz Software BZ 7206.
The Investigator’s advanced hardware and software specifications make
it into a flexible instrument that can cover your current sound analysis
needs. It is able to expand to cover your future needs – simply by
switching between different software applications. The application soft-
ware is supplied on PC cards.

Attended Measurements in the Field

In many cases it is necessary to have an operator on-site. Changing

conditions might mean that the measurement setup has to be altered
or refined, and that representative samples have to be taken. Identifi-
cation and marking of events, together with visual confirmation of noise
sources are easier and more precise on-site during the measurement
than afterwards.
In addition to marking the events, it is often necessary to record the
sound together with the measurement. Replaying the recorded sound
is then used to document the type of event.

Markers

Fig. 2 2260 Investigator screen showing Marker “soft” keys allow you to identify specific measurement condi-
three of the markers tions. There are four markers plus an “EXCLUDE” marker. You can name
these marker keys to aid in identifying what type of condition is present.
The marker duration can be edited on-screen up to one minute after
the occurrence has taken place. The markers are saved at the same
time as your measurement data and, if sound recording is activated, a
.wav file is saved on your PC (see below). The markers can be seen on
a PC when the data has been transferred to 7815 or 7820.
Markers can be selected in any order and for any duration. You can set
all the markers to finish automatically after a pre-defined time or set
to continue until you stop each one.

Sound Recording

Fig. 3 An example of the Measurement PC Sound Recording

Setup screen
To be sure of what had caused a marked event, you can record sound
directly onto your PC’s hard drive.
With Evaluator Type 7820, or Explorer Type 7815, installed on your PC,
you can use 2260 Investigator to control sound recording on the hard
disk while making measurements. The only limit to duration is the size
of the hard disk. Sound is recorded on one channel with the option to
record commentary on the second channel (this will double the size of
the files).

Fig. 4 The Evaluator Type 7820 Sound Sound recording can be tagged to one or more markers. There is a 60 s
Recorder Setup sound buffer in the PC to permit editing of markers up to 1 minute after
the occurrence has taken place. Recordings are time stamped and stored
as .wav files. After transferring the measurement data from 2260 to 7815/
20, the data are automatically merged with the sound recordings. The
sound recordings are then marked in the profile display of the 7815/20
and can be replayed. You use the cursor position in the profile display
to decide which part of the recording you want to hear.

3
 DAT Recording
You can also use the DAT recording facility offered by 2260 Investigator,
where the microphone’s signal is fed directly to tape. 2260 can remotely
trigger the DAT to start and stop recording. From stand-by mode, the
DAT recorder starts recording within 1– 2 s.
DAT recording can be set to occur during an event or during the entire
measurement.

Event Logging

You can start single measurements manually or automatically repeat

sequences of a single measurement. You can also select “Logging” or
“Event Logging” modes. These modes allow 2260 Investigator to meas-
ure background sound levels using one set of parameters (logging) and,
when triggered by an event, use another set for the duration of the
event (event logging).
For example, you might set an event trigger start threshold to be 92 dB.
As long as the level is below this value, 1 minute logging is in operation
(see Fig. 5). As soon as the level goes above this (for example a com-
pressor starts), the sampling rate is increased to 1 second intervals
(event logging) and continues until the level drops below the stop
threshold value. In this way you have a higher resolution record of the
noise levels during the event.
You can set sound recording to activate during the event, and use the
five marker keys to add more detailed background information if nec-
essary.

Type 7820 software. You can see the
timebase change from 1 minute to 1
second intervals during the event and
the event marker (green bar) that can
be used by Evaluator for post-process-
ing logged data

Fig. 6 2260 Investigator screen showing Event Threshold

a logged profile with an event
To prevent transients causing a large number of events, a time limit (in
1 s intervals) can also be imposed on the threshold. For an event to be
“logged” it must exceed the threshold for more than the pre-set time.
To ensure that the start of the event is not missed, measurement data
is also delayed. Triggering can also be started remotely via the RS–232
interface, by sending the appropriate start/stop command, by using a
remote control connected to 2260 Investigator, or by pressing a “soft”
key.

Unattended Monitoring and Remote Access

Fig. 7 2260 Outdoor Gear Noise monitoring in out-of-the-way places need no-longer be a problem.
2260 Outdoor Gear Type 3592 offers security and weather-protection
for 2260 Investigator. Safe and dry in its robust, heat reflecting, bright
yellow case, the analyzer will operate unattended for more than 3 days.
For longer periods, the battery can be changed without interrupting
measurements. You can also save yourself a site visit by using the
modem dial-up facility to collect your results.
The system consists of a weatherproof case, outdoor microphone kit,
microphone extension cable, microphone tripod or mast, sealed lead-
acid battery, charger for battery, DAT recorder (not supplied by
Brüel & Kjær), and cables for interconnection. The Outdoor Gear system
is modular, allowing you to assemble a monitoring system that meets
your exact requirements.
Evaluator Type 7820 software on your PC controls the communication
process and allows measurement files to be downloaded directly to
your PC’s hard disk, thus freeing space for more results. The modem
interface is standard RS– 232; you can connect either a land-line modem
or a mobile phone with a digital interface. The Type 3592 case has a
space for the modem/mobile phone, and is transparent to radio waves.

Measurement Parameters

concurrently thanks to the Multi-D™ technique. Serial measurements,
which are expensive and time consuming, are not necessary. Multi-D
exploits the power of the real-time digital signal processor (DSP) and
allows you viewing access at any time to all the parameters measurable
by 2260 Investigator. While viewing a spectrum, you can switch over to
see how any of the other parameters are developing, for example, the
current values of LN (spectral or broad-band) or LCeq–LAeq. Such anal-
ysis techniques are advantageous when the sound source is complex
and you need on-the-spot tonal information, for example when choosing
hearing protection aids. When you’ve made your measurements, you
can store the final results in a file to view or analyse later.

You can see from the specifications that 2260 Investigator can measure
an impressive array of parameters based on various combinations of
time and frequency weightings, filtering, and detection of peaks, etc.
During measurements, the A-weighted, and C- or L-weighted sound sig-
nals are sampled by two 18-bit A/D convertors and processed by the
real-time DSP. The DSP continuously calculates the current values for
the whole array of selected sound parameters which you can display
immediately and store later when the measurement is completed.

Calibration Features

Internal Calibration
This uses a stable, internal electrical reference signal to directly excite
the preamplifier output. The whole measurement chain, except the mi-
crophone and preamplifier, is calibrated in this way.

External Calibration
This requires the microphone to be coupled to a stable reference sound
source, such as Brüel & Kjær’s Sound Level Calibrator Type 4231 or
Pistonphone Type 4228, or the Multifunction Acoustic Calibrator Type
4226. This method calibrates everything in the measurement chain.

Initial Calibration
Each analyzer “remembers” its initial calibration together with the serial
number of its microphone and will report any deviation from this initial
calibration. An Accredited Initial Calibration (2260 CAI) is done only at
the factory. If you need one, or need to renew the one in your analyzer,
contact your Brüel & Kjær representative.

Fig. 10 The automatic Charge Injection Charge Injection Calibration

Calibration screen Analysis software BZ 7201, BZ 7202, and BZ 7206 use 2260 Investigator’s
CIC (Charge Injection Calibration) facility. CIC allows the analyzer to
monitor the measurement chain right from the microphone diaphragm.
When you perform an internal or external calibration, a reference CIC
is also automatically made and the result stored as a reference. Later
you may initiate a CIC and compare the new result to the reference. A
stable CIC ratio assures stable operation of microphone, cable, pream-
plifier and the remaining measurement system, giving you a good indi-
cation that your measurements are valid.
A CIC may be initiated manually or automatically. You can see from
Fig.10 how an automatic CIC has been set to occur at the start and end
of a measurement period, and at 03:00 every day during a week of
logging. The difference column shows the difference between the cur-
rent CIC measurement and the reference measurement stored the last
time an external calibration was made. In the example the CIC values
are all within 0.1 dB of the reference value, indicating stable conditions.

Post-processing Software and Applications

With up to 20 MB internal memory, 2260 Investigator can store a large

amount of data. To make it easier for you to examine the results of the
measurements, Brüel & Kjær offers a number of Windows-based software
application packages.

Predictor™ Type 7810

Predictor is for the calculation or prediction of environmental noise
levels. Calculations are based on a knowledge of the noise sources and
a description of the propagation of the noise from source to receiver
and are made according to national and international standards. An
acoustic model is built up from a map of the area and sound power
measurements from sound intensity software BZ 7205 measurements or

6
 source specifications. Once made, the model can be checked and im-
proved by importing sound pressure measurements from 2260 Investi-
gator running Sound Analysis Software BZ 7201, BZ 7202, BZ 7206 or
BZ 7210 and comparing measurements with the calculated values.

or statistics curves, Noise Explorer has a range of export features al-
lowing you to export your measurement data to other programs or send
to a printer. Noise Explorer has the facility to let the operator record
and replay sound events to aid post-processing.

Evaluator™ Type 7820

Evaluator has similar display options to Noise Explorer. It is specifically
designed to calculate Rating Levels (a single figure evaluation of envi-
ronmental noise normally based on the LAeq with various penalties)
according to the standards and legislation you follow. Using Evaluator
with measurement data produced by 2260 Investigator, you can quickly
arrive at Rating Level figures. For noise reduction analysis, noise levels
can be edited to give you on-screen indications of “what if” situations.
The facility to record sound events is also available with this software.

the noise exposure for an entire plant Protector is software for post-processing, simulating and archiving noise
exposure data. Protector works with the family of Brüel & Kjær hand-
held sound level meters and analyzers including Type 2260. Protector
allows you to quickly download sample noise profiles for specific loca-
tions or persons, which Protector can then use to calculate noise ex-
posure for people or positions under investigation. Protector calculates
noise exposure according to ISO 9612.2. For situations where only work
point noise measurements are available, and workers move about, Pro-
tector can combine workpoint measurements with a profile of the per-
sons movements, to simulate their personal noise exposure.
