Autonomous mode
SPL Sense starts a measurement automatically as soon as it runs.
In autonomous mode, SPL Sense activates and starts a specific measurement by itself as soon as SPL Sense starts. This is intended for permanently installed systems, for example in a club or on a Raspberry Pi: after a power failure or restart, the system continues measuring without intervention.
Setup
- Settings › Autonomous Mode.
- Set Automatically run a measurement when running to On.
- Choose the Measurement. Only open measurements are offered.
- Save. If SPL Sense is stopped and a sensor is connected, SPL Sense offers to start the measurement right away.
Behaviour
- When SPL Sense starts: the chosen measurement is activated and started. If no sensor is connected, the measurement is Interrupted and starts recording as soon as the sensor is there.
- Stopping: you can stop the measurement at any time. It then stays stopped until SPL Sense starts the next time.
- Completing: when the measurement is completed, autonomous mode switches itself off.
- Calibration: with the automatic start, SPL Sense does not ask, even if the calibration has expired. The events show the reason Automatically started as autonomous measurement.
For unattended operation
Combine autonomous mode with:
- an operator PIN, so that nobody changes the settings
- the live screen in kiosk mode as a display
- the cloud uplink, so you can see the measurement remotely, and with Pro alarms in case the measurement fails
