11 2 uChar Ear Ear under test
Bit 0 = 1 = Left ear under test
= 0 = Left ear not under test
Bit 1 = 1 = Right ear under test.
= 0 = Right ear not under
test
Bits 2-7 = Not used
Either the RIGHT ear is selected OR the LEFT ear
is selected. Both ears selected or no ear selected is
invalid.

21 4 sint Peak Pressure The pressure where the peak compliance occurred,
stored in daPa.
Range = 399 to 200 daPa
25 4 sint Gradient Gradient value calculated as the pressure difference
at the compliance half-peak points stored in daPa.
Range = -1 to 500 daPa
-1 = No gradient has been calculated
yet
0 = No gradient could be calculated.
29 2 sChar End Index The data index where the last compliance data point
is stored.
Range = -1 to 87
-1 = No data was stored.
