TRANSFERRING THE RESULTS
9.1.
SENDING THE RESULTS TO A PRINTER
Video available on how send results to a printer.
Two designated thermal printers (the Able AP1300 or the Sanibel MPT-II) are available as options and only
these printers should be used. Printers supplied with the Otowave 102 are correctly configured for
communication but it is important to ensure that the correct printer is selected .
The Able and Sanibel printers have no user-settable configuration options.
Before attempting to print ensure the printer is fully charged, switched on, loaded with paper and ready to print.
To print the results of the last test select SEND TO PRINTER from the PROCESS RESULTS menu on
completion of the test. (Similar facilities for printing are available from the VIEW THE LAST TEST and DATA
MANAGEMENT options in the MAIN MENU.)
Press
◄ to cancel printing.
The three character identifier for the record is printed in the “Name” field followed by the Otowave graphical
displays, the analysis and the results. The name of the hospital, the department, and the calibration dates for
the instrument may also be printed if required.There is space for additional details to be handwritten by the
clinician (patient name/age, operator & comments).
Thermal paper printouts can fade with exposure to light or heat. Consider transferring the data to a computer
for permanent storage.
9.2.
DATA TRANSFER TO NOAH OR AMPLISUITE
To transfer test results stored within the tympanometer to a NOAH database the Amplivox NOAH Impedance
module must be installed on to a computer. Alternatively, Amplivox ampliSuite allows data to be transferred to
a computer and subsequently viewed, annotated & printed. This software is supplied on a CD which includes
this operating manual.
Refer to the installation & operating instructions provided with the NOAH Impedance Module or ampliSuite for
further details.
If communication between the Otowave 102 and the computer cannot be established the message “Device
not
found”
is
displayed.
The
following
points
should
be
checked:
Ensure the environment is suitable
The computer has its IrDA software properly installed and the interface enabled
If the computer has been in “Hibernate” mode the IrDA interface is not always re-enabled; try
restarting the computer
The IrDA adapter on the computer is compatible with the Otowave
Turn the Otowave off and on again before trying to send the data again
If communication is lost while sending the data the message “Link was unreliable” will be displayed. Press ◄
to cancel sending the data and start the operation again.
If any other messages are displayed while sending data, turn the Otowave off and then on again and try re-
sending the data. If the problem persists contact an Amplivox service centre.
