3.9 Data transfer to NOAH or AudiView
To transfer test results stored within the audiometer to a NOAH database
the Amplivox NOAH Audilink software must be installed on to a computer.
Alternatively, Amplivox AudiView allows data to be transferred to a
computer and subsequently viewed, annotated & printed. This software is
supplied on a CD which includes this operating manual.
Refer to the installation & operating instructions provided with NOAH
Audilink or AudiView for further details.
4 Suggested Sequence of Operation and Test Procedure
The following applies to air conduction measurements. Refer also to ISO
8253 for guidance.
4.1 Audiometry preparation and ambient conditions
Refer to the appropriate audiometric standards and other relevant
publications for guidance on audiometric testing.
Audiometric testing should always be performed in quiet conditions (e.g. a
quiet room or an acoustic booth). The optional Audiocups can provide an
additional level of isolation from ambient noise. For further explanation on
permissible ambient noise levels, please refer to the audiometry standard
ISO6189.
4.2 Test system arrangement
The schematic diagram below shows a typical example of the use of
audiometric test equipment. The audiometer is located on the desk of a
seated operator as shown.
The patient is seated in front of the desk facing away from the operator.
The patient wears a headset or appropriate transducer (see Section 4.3)
and responds to test stimuli by use of a hand-held switch which is also
connected to the instrument.
