Driver Installation
and System
Setup
Driver Installation is platform and operating system dependent. Refer to the installation
instructions on the driver media (CD-ROM P/N: 1761-0650) that corresponds to this system
and its operating system. For most Windows operating systems, the necessary drivers will
install automatically. Insert the CD-ROM into the PC prior to connecting the GSI 61. Once
the drivers are installed, the CD-ROM can be removed and stored for future use or
reference.

Remote Computer When the GSI 61 is connected to the computer, it will show up on the PC as a virtual COM
port. The application will need to select that COM port. Generally, the serial port
parameters (baud rate, stop bits, parity, handshaking, etc.) are then arbitrary and the virtual
COM port driver handles all of those considerations. Simply select the desired COM port
and accept the default parameters for baud rate, parity, etc. The virtual COM port normally
appears as COM5. The COM designation can be changed through the Windows “Hardware
Device Manager,” if necessary.
GSI Suite
GSI Suite Audiometric Data Management software is compatible with the GSI 61 as well as
the TympStar. GSI Suite captures, saves, and stores audiometric data from the GSI 61 and
allows the addition of comments into a report. It can also provide the data in a PDF format
that is compatible with electronic medical data records.
Data transferred from the GSI 61 include the following: air conduction (masked and
unmasked) thresholds, bone conduction (masked and unmasked) thresholds, and sound field
thresholds. Speech information and Pure Tone Averages are entered manually in the
appropriate fields with GSI Suite. All Masking levels are saved and printed on the report
created by GSI Suite. The audiogram is saved to a directory for future retrieval and/or
converted to PDF format for easy transfer to an EMR program. If configured, the report can
also be e-mailed.
Every GSI 61 that has a remote board (RS 232 or USB) is compatible with GSI Suite.
