Appendix H: Using the LAM (Language Activity
Monitoring)
As a clinician or teacher you can use the LAM capabilities in your device to analyze your clients'
language activities. This can be helpful for clinical intervention, outcomes measurement and
research.
The following instructions are for use with a USB flash drive.
In order to accumulate language data to be analyzed,
Data Logging must be ON in the
REVIEW VOCABULARY MENU. Your device will then record all language activity data.
You should also set the
CLOCK menu to the current year, month and date and the correct time.
You can tell if there is data to be analyzed by looking at the
Clear Data Log key. If there is a
number displayed on the key, (e.g., 134 Bytes, or 400 Bytes, etc.) then there is data available to
be analyzed. If there is no number on the key, you will have to turn
Data Logging On and have
the client generate some data.
You will save the language data to your USB drive. You can then download the Data Log file
from the USB drive onto your computer and save it as a word processing document.
