Tympanometry Controls
Manual
The Manual button changes the test to use the pressure control knob instead of
the predefined pressure rate and direction from the protocol for tympanometry.
Hold
The Hold button holds the current pressure in the ear canal. The test remains in
the hold condition until Start or Stop is pressed.
Stop
The Stop button stops the current test and releases the pressure in the ear canal.
Start
The Start control has two buttons to begin the test. The direction of the pressure
change is indicated by the arrow. The left button changes the pressure from
positive to negative and the right button changes the pressure from negative to
positive. The pressure starts at the pressure indicated in the protocol. If a test is
in a Hold condition the Start button continues the test.
Pressure Control
The Pressure control is a rotary control for manual adjustment of the pressure
within the ear canal. Turing the control to the left (counter clockwise) decreases
the pressure and turning the control to the right (clockwise) increases the
pressure. When in the zoom screen, the pressure control is used to move the
cursor on the waveform.
