Criteria 3 ensures that even when the meter is unable to reach a
steady L
, it will have measured for long enough to have as good an L
as the source permits, without measuring for extremely lengthy periods.
Using a typical pink noise source, autoscans take around 20
seconds for all octaves installed, and about 60 seconds for all third
octaves installed. Scanning times can be shortened by restricting the
number of bands to be measured.
A settling time for each band plus a minimum time to obtain an
adequate reading in the band are factory set in the meter and are listed
below. The maximum measurement time per band for Criterion 3 is
always fixed at 4 times the minimum measurement time.
