The revolutionary new dBadge2 personal noise dosimeters can be viewed and controlled remotely from a smart phone or tablet using the unique Airwave App. This means no more interrupting workers to check to see if the sample or the data collection is proceeding as planned! They are rugged, simple to use, and have built-in motion detectors as extra "QA" measures, as well as optional Octave Band and WAV file recording options! They will soon be available in IS (Intrinsically Safe) versions as well.
