Can the SONASCREEN 2 record measurement series, long-term measurements, and automatically triggered measurements?

The SONASCREEN 2 features 1 TB of internal M.2 SSD storage. This allows extensive measurement data to be stored directly on the device and loaded again for later evaluation.

An integrated File Manager is available for managing the stored data.

Which data can be stored?

Depending on the measurement, a data set may contain different types of information, including:

• acoustic measurement data,
• acoustic images,
• optical camera images,
• infrared images,
• spectra and spectrograms,
• local sound,
• screenshots,
• additional measurement information.

A key advantage of the SONASCREEN 2 is that recorded measurement data can be loaded again later and viewed or analyzed further using different settings.

How are stored data managed?

The integrated File Manager can be used to:

• view,
• manage,
• copy,
• move,
• delete, and
• export

stored measurements and directories to a USB storage device.

The SONASCREEN 2 provides a USB-A 3.0 interface for data export.

Measurement data should be backed up regularly to an external storage device. This is particularly recommended before software updates or resetting the device to factory settings.

Can screenshots be exported?

Yes. Screenshots are stored in the “Screenshots” folder by default.

They are created as PDF files and, depending on the selected view, can contain information including:

• the camera image,
• the spectrum,
• the infrared image.

A comment can also be added after creating a screenshot.

Can videos be exported?

Yes. Recorded measurements or selected sections can be exported using the Video Export function.

If no specific section is selected, the complete measurement is exported.

Is PC software available?

Yes. In addition to the device software, a PC version of the SONASCREEN software for Microsoft Windows is available.

The PC software can be used for offline processing of recorded measurement data.

Its functions include:

• loading stored measurements,
• viewing acoustic results frame by frame,
• replaying measurements in real time or slow motion,
• listening to local sound,
• further analysis of measurement data,
• exporting data and media.

Can the SONASCREEN 2 be controlled from a PC?

Yes. The camera can also be remotely controlled using the Windows PC software.

For this purpose, the SONASCREEN 2 can be connected to the PC via the network interface.

When coupling the camera to a PC, the software version on the SONASCREEN 2 must match the version of the PC software.

The SONASCREEN 2 can therefore be used both as a standalone mobile testing device and together with a PC for more advanced measurement and analysis tasks.
