ILES ⌐MARK BASELINE TEST. Enter the patient ID and test files for the patient will
be displayed. Select the file to mark, and then select {Left Baseline / Right

SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
The ES3 can transmit data to a computer or to a printer. The default output
device is selected using the menu sequence ⌐S
ETUP ⌐COMMUNICATIONS ⌐DEFAULT
OUTPUT, and data is transmitted using the ⌐SEND DATA main menu option. Note
that the ES3 implements no handshaking protocol for serial communications.
This means that the ES3 cannot detect an unconnected serial port or a ‘not ready’
state. It is the user’s responsibility to verify that a serial cable is connected and
that the external device (printer or computer) is powered up and ready for
communications before attempting to transmit data.
NOTE: While an Earscan 3 is attached to the PC using the supplied USB cable, it
is automatically configured for output to a PC at a baud rate of 115.2k, and no
setup changes are required.
