With this option, it is possible to log a short Leq of 0.1 seconds for up to 8 hours. With the new Auto Save feature, the logging can be extended indefinitely.<\/li>\n<li>When logging Lx values in the Meter tool, the user-defined percentile value will be fixed at the time logging starts. It is still possible to view different user-defined percentile values in the live meter display while the fixed percentile values are being logged.<\/li>\n<li>A bug has been fixed which could cause errors in the Octave data when logging was enabled.<\/li>\n<li>The formatting of the HTTP file server pages has been improved.<\/li>\n<li>Audio input management has been improved to avoid the potential for transient noise from the hardware when a new measurement is started.<\/li>\n<li>SoundMeter Pro uses much less memory when exporting data logs to CSV and TXT files.<\/li>\n<li>The Octave log surface plot uses much less memory when viewing large data sets.<\/li>\n<li>Other cosmetic enhancements and stability improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In SoundMeter, the new features will require the purchase of one or more upgrades, which are available via in-app purchase.
