Otowave 202 Operating Manual                                                            

 

 

If difficulties resolving fault conditions occur the equipment distributor (or Amplivox if purchased directly) should 
be consulted. 

Error messages related to sending data to a computer 

Connection to a computer is made automatically when the USB cable is connected as long as the appropriate 
software  (NOAH  Interface  or  ampliSuite)  has  been  installed  and  the  Otowave  202  has  the  main  menu 
displayed. The message ‘Awaiting PC … OK to disconnect’ is displayed if the connection is successful. Further 
commands are then executed from the computer. 
 
Refer  to the  installation  &  operating  instructions  provided  with  the  NOAH  Impedance  Module  or  ampliSuite 
software for details of the data transfer operation and errors that may occur. If data transfer is not required 
simply unplug the USB cable and the Otowave 202 will return to normal operation.
