The data storage feature allows you to view reports on the computer or print them for use later during inspections. Use the 897 to take measurements, or to view and print reports using a PC computer or printer. Reports are automatically printed on a compatible PC printer for later use during OSHA or other official inspections. Recorded data can also be viewed on a personal computer monitor by using an accessory cable and other manufacturer's software.
The 897 computes dosage and records up to 31 hours, at one minute intervals, of Lavg and Lmax readings and the number of detected 140 dB peak occurrences per minute.
