Creating Attenuation Schedules - continued

For example, let's assume you need to create a soundmasking attenuation schedule for a company having typical

Monday thru Friday 9am to 5pm hours. Let's also assume that you would like the soundmasking to lower by

10 decibels each night, taking one hour duration to transition from full volume (0 db attenuation) to 10 dB of

attenuation.

In the "Create Weekly Schedule" portion of the window you are given options for weekdays (Mon-Fri, Mon-Sat,

Mon-Sun.), Start and End times, Attenuation (0-15 dB) and Duration (0-120). For the above mentioned schedule

you would select Mon-Fri, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, 10 dB attenuation and 60 (minutes) duration. 8:00 AM was chosen

as a start time assuming that we wanted the soundmasking to be "ramped up" by 9:00 AM and the ramp-time or

"Duration" was set to 60 minutes. The parameters must be separately configured for each of the four channels.

Note that each time any of these options are changed the weekly schedule is updated and displayed on the Weekly

Schedule chart.

Schedules must be balanced in terms of attenuation increases and decreases. Using the options in the "Create

Weekly Schedule" section insures that increases and decreases are balanced, as it creates matching events.

Modifying Weekly Schedules

While it's very simple to create a schedule that works for most situations, with just a few clicks, there will be

situations that require a more complex schedule. For example, perhaps the weekly schedule is fine except that

the company hours are shorter on Fridays. One can still create the weekly schedule and then modify an individual

event by right-clicking the event and changing the required parameters. Other needs may be, for example, raising

the soundmasking more slowly (longer duration) in the morning and faster ramp down(shorter duration) in the

evening. As you can see there are endless variations.
