This chapter summarizes the operation of the TympStar Version 1 and TympStar 
Version 2 Middle-ear Analyzers.  A brief introduction to the TympStar con- 
trols, menus and LCD screens will be followed by summarized test procedures 
for each instrument.  Please refer to the Reference Instruction Manuals for 
more detailed operating instructions. 

NOTE 
Most generic LCD screen and menu examples use TympStar Version 2 
images.  However, the concepts  and processes  described  apply equally 
well to both  instruments. 

Front panel controls 

Front panel controls consist of a combination of “hardkeys” with fixed functions that 
do not change, and “softkeys” located under the LCD that change to support the 
changing requirements of a test session. A rotary pressure control is provided to 
change or fine-tune pressure within the ear canal.
