GSi TYMPSTAR PRO, User Manual

Page: 90 / 134

The Multi-Hz test consists of an automatic sequence of measurement and data
calculation. The sequence begins by presenting a wide-band stimulus while
completing a pressure sweep (+200 to -400 by default) in 50 Hz steps in the
sealed ear canal. Once completed, the TSP calculates and displays the 226 Hz Y
tympanogram (Tab 1/Tymp 226 Hz), difference between the B components at the
Start pressure (+200 daPa), and the Peak pressure (Tab 2 Delta Peak-Start), and
the resonant frequency tympanogram (Tab 3/Tymp XX Hz).
Probe Status Indicator
The probe status indicator indicates the state of the probe and displays messages
regarding the current test during collection. On the left side of the indicator, the
two circles will be colored to match the LED lights on the probe box. The probe
may be in the following states:
Indicator Lights Status
Blinking Green Ready
Solid Green Test in Progress
Solid Green Hold – ready to continue test
Solid Amber Occlusion
Blinking Amber Leak (or possible internal error on the device)
At the end of the pressure sweep, the probe status indicator will display a series
of messages that indicate the test data is processing.
Admittance and Pressure Meters
The admittance meter displays the real time admittance as it is being recorded
from the probe in the ear canal. The units are millimhos (mmho). The current
value is displayed at the top left of the meter.
The pressure meter displays the real time pressure as it is being recorded from the
probe in the ear canal. The units are decapascals (daPa). The current value is
displayed at the top left of the meter. The pressure range is controlled from the
pressure range parameter for the test.
