The SLARM™ may operate standalone. A PC is not
required for normal Alarm operation. The data is main-
tained using flash and ferro-ram devices.
The SLARM™ provides USB and serial connec-
tivity. It may be connected directly to a PC or via
optional accessories directly to an Ethernet or radio link
such as Bluetooth™.
PC operation is in conjunction with the included
SLARMSoft™ software package.

47.5.1.2 SLARMSoft™ Software Suite

SLARMWatch™. A package with password-protected
setup, calibration, downloading, display, and clearing of
the SLARM™’s SPL history. The history data may be
saved and imported for later review and analysis,
Fig. 47-3.

SLARMAnalysis™. Part of SLARMWatch™ provides
tools for the advanced user to review the SLARM™
history files. SLARMWatch™ allows saving and
storage of this file for later review and analysis. SLAR-
MAnalysis™ provides Leq, Dose and other calculations
with user parameters, Fig. 47-4.

SLARMScheduler™. Part of the SLARMWatch™
package, allows 24/7 setting of the Alarm thresholds.
This permits time of day and day of the week adjust-
ments to meet the needs of the community, Fig. 47-5.

WinSLARM™. A display of SPL, Leqs, Range, and
Alarm settings with digital, analog bar graph, and meter
displays, as well as a Histogram window that provides a

25 second view of recent SPL on a continuous basis.

The WinSlarm™ display may be sized permitting single

or multiple SLARM™s to be shown, Fig.47-6.

SLARMAlarm™. Operates independently from

SLARMWatch™. The package monitors SLARM™s

providing digital display of SPL and Leqs values while

also offering SMS, text, and email messaging of Alarm

events via an Internet connection from the PC, Fig. 47-7.

SLARMNet™. The SLARM™ and the SLARM-

Soft™ package allow multiple SLARM™s to be
