Datalogging sound level meters record data over time either with a built-in memory or through a connection to a memory storage device such as the hard-drive of a PC or an external logger. As a small, battery-powered, and portable device which can be mounted on a tripod and left unattended, and even located outdoors, datalogging sound level meters, equipped with internal memory, allow measurements to be recorded internally at user-defined intervals.

After a measurement session is completed, the datalogging SLM can be brought to a PC to transfer the stored readings. This allows the user to store files, view graphs, and make hard-copy reports.

Sound level meters equipped with an RS-232, USB, or an analog output and connected to a PC can also “dump” or transfer real-time data continuously to a spreadsheet. The transfer can be made at preset sampling rates or at user-defined intervals and the amount of data collection is limited to the size of the PC’s hard-drive.
