This software reads data from PeakTech PT8005 Noise Meter via USB serial connection.

The measurement values are stored in a Sqlite database and can be exported via web interface.

The webinterface allows to set a location where the meter is located and if the windows are open/closed during measurement.

This allows to make different measurements for different rooms with open and closed windows to create comparable data
