area in the front screen. Instead you will need to present the stimulus manually using the PC
keyboard or the dedicated audiometer keyboard.
b. When ticking Jump to 1 kHz by output change the cursor will jump back to test 1 kHz upon
output changes.
9) The Jump strategy contains three different options:
The cursor will start at 1kHz and move upwards in
frequency as the thresholds are stored. After testing the
high frequencies the cursor will move back to re-test 1kHz
and move downwards. When jumping back to 1kHz the
Butterfly strategy can be set to start the re-test at either
the default start intensity or the intensity of the first
threshold.
The cursor will start at 1kHz and move upwards. When the
high frequencies are tested the cursor will jump to the
lowest test frequency and move upwards towards 1kHz.
Frequencies are changed manually using the arrow
buttons in the main screen, the PC keyboard or the
dedicated keyboard.
10) For Intensity decrease when changing frequency, choose the level to decrease to when changing the
test frequency, using the drop down menu. .
11) By activating Set ch2 to manual after store, you assure that masking is automatically switched off
when storing a point and jumping to the next frequency.
12) If testing with warble, tones the frequency of the warble tones can be adjusted in the Warble
Frequency slider. This may for example be helpful if testing patients with tinnitus.
13) Under Masking in Settings – representation: Tick Show masking information on screen if you want
the masking intensity for every threshold to be visible on screen. You may choose to see the masking
information for air conduction (AC), bone conduction (BC), free field (FF) and insert phones (IP).
If ticking Show masking cursor a cursor indicating the masking level will be visible on channel 2.
14) Tick Show Ch1 and Ch2 in a single audiogram to show a single audiogram by default
15) Choose Swap intensity keys on PC keyboard and Swap arrows on intensity buttons to change the
direction when adjusting intensity and frequency.
16) Hide unmasked threshold where masked exist will only display the masked (i.e. real) thresholds by
default. This option can also be selected by right mouse click on the audiogram.
