11. Measurement Modes
The Pachmate 2 allows the user to select the preferred Measurement Mode. The device will
either use Continuous Averaging or Mapping configuration when reporting measurements. It is
important to note that switching between Continuous Averaging or Mapping will clear ALL
measurements; this includes patient information stored in Non-Volatile Memory.
11.1 Continuous Averaging Measurement Mode
The Pachmate 2’s factory-default Measurement Mode
option is Continuous Averaging. In this mode the device
takes 25 corneal measurements (in rapid succession) at a
single location and generates an average from those
measurements. The device allows the user to program how
many measurements are taken (from 1 to 25), as well as the
period of time between consecutive measurements (default
is <50msec). While in Continuous Averaging Measurement
Mode the screen will display which eye is being measured,
the measurements and standard deviation.
See section 13.2 for information on configuring Continuous Averaging parameters.
See section 12.2 for information on taking measurements in Continuous Averaging Measurement
Mode.
