1. The actual number of lines is one more than stated, to provide symmetry around the centre frequency.
The lower limit of the measurement range is influenced by self generated random noise and self-generated tones called spurious signals. The influence of the random part can be reduced to a level below the spurious signals by selecting a small analysis bandwidth (small span and many lines). Therefore, the lower limit is specified as the maximum Peak level of the spurious signal lines.
BZ-7230 has only one measuring range but the spurious level depends on the peak level of the signal. Therefore, two specifications are given. One for high levels, where the upper limit is the overload limit, and one for low levels.
The Typical Frequency Response shows the ±1 dB limits for Direct Input and microphones, and the ±10 % limits for accelerometers.
RPM is measured on the signal connected to Trigger input when Tacho is set to On
Range: 1 to 6000000 RPM

Average RPM: Displayed and stored together with each Spectrum result. In Linear Averaging it is an average over the same time as the spectrum. In Exponential Averaging it is the last measured RPM

Limit Level: Determines the level at which the spectrum is checked
Limit Range: Determines the frequency range for the limit level check
Indication: Two indicators are displayed, latched and instantaneous When the spectrum exceeds the limit level, a recording can be started (license for BZ-7226 required) and a 3.3 V DC signal can be output at the Output Socket
Sound level meter (broadband) parameters are measured simultaneously with the FFT parameters. However, their measurement starts when the Start/Pause push button is pressed and ends at the nearest whole second after the end of the FFT measurement
Specifications for the Sound Level Meter parameters apply to Handheld Analyser Type 2250 fitted with Microphone Type 4189 and Microphone Preamplifier ZC-0032
