– PC850 Operating Manual
Click
“CONTINUE” and note the frequencies at which thresholds were not established. Only click “ACCEPT”
if you wish to exit the PC850 program and transfer the incomplete test to Audibase.
Return to the audiometer and use it to manually determine thresholds at these frequencies (refer to Section
5). It will be easier to do this if any previous displayed results (the “retained thresholds”) have been cleared.
When the required manual test results have been established on the audiometer click the “Select insert manual
readings” icon (the icon will then be highlighted)
.
Alternatively use the “Test > Mixed” drop-down menu selection at the top of the PC850 window.
To transfer the combined thresholds to Audibase click the “Run selected test” icon
and confirm the
opera
tion by clicking “Yes” in the Run Test dialogue box. A further dialogue box will open.
In this case leave “Current readings” selected, click on OK, and the combined data will be transferred to
Audibase when the PC850 window is closed. Remember to “save” the data in Audibase to retain it in the
database (refer to the Audibase operating manual).
Note that any automatic test thresholds recorded will always be transferred, even if a threshold has been
manually entered on the audiometer at that frequency. Only manual thresholds entered at frequencies where
there is no automatic test threshold are transferred to Audibase.
Note also that if the previous test results on the audiometer (the “retained thresholds”) were not cleared then
any retained thresholds at frequencies where an automatic test was not carried out (e.g. for frequencies that
were deselected for an automatic test) would also be transferred into Audibase. This is why it is essential to
clear the retained thresholds before carrying out an automatic test.
