USB

A USB cable is shipped with each Sound Examiner. One end fits the mini port in the instrument. The other end fits a standard USB connector on a personal computer.

A USB connection to a computer allows files to be transferred, settings to be downloaded to the instrument, and post-session analysis to be performed with the DMS software. It is also used to charge the internal battery of the SE-400 Series.

3MTM Detection Management Software (DMS)

DMS is a software application from 3M that is used for a variety of Sound Examiner functions including the ability to display and manipulate data after it is downloaded to the computer from the instrument. Additionally, DMS is used to download measurement data for advanced graphing, charting, and reporting analysis.
