Main (Leq) : Sound level measurement (real-time display)
- Sound level measurement (dB): Leq (equivalent noise level), Min (minimum value), Max (maximum value), Avg (time average equivalent noise level)
- Frequency weighting correction characteristics : A (for noise level meter), C (for sound level measurement), Z (no correction)
- Time weighting characteristics : Fast = 0.125 sec, Slow = 1.0 sec

Power Spectrum (P.S.) : View of frequency spectrum analysis (real time display)
- Spectrum analyzer function : FFT analysis, 1/3-octave band response analysis.
- FFT frequency range settings : 100Hz - 20kHz (FFT all) / 100Hz - 3kHz / 3k - 6kHz
- Measured value display function in 1/3 oct band response analysis. (OctVal)
- Power spectrum display function at the time of occurrence of Max. (Display Max)

- Device management

Example of the noise level situation:
- 130dB : Engine sound of Airplane
- 110dB : Horn of Car
- 100dB : Noise of passing train
- 90dB : In loud factory
- 80dB : In the train, Vacuum cleaner
- 70dB : Noisy office, Noisy street
- 60dB : Quiet Car, Normal conversation
- 50dB : Quiet office
- 40dB : In the library, Quiet residential area
- 30dB : Outskirts of midnight, Whisper
