SNR to Pass: defines the minimum SNR required for that frequency to be considered a passing
frequency. SNR to Pass is adjustable between 3 and 10 dB
Minimum DP: defines the minimum DPOAE (signal) amplitude required for that frequency to be
considered a passing frequency. Minimum DP is adjustable between -20 and 0 dB SPL. If the user does
not wish to use minimum amplitude as part of the Pass criterion, n/a can be selected for this parameter
and/or the instrument setting for
DP Minimums
can be set to
off
.
Note: when creating or modifying a protocol, the desired setting can be established for the first test
frequency (top row) and then applied to all frequencies by clicking the
Apply Values to All Frequencies
button.
C
