A. Reflex Decay graph
The graph shows the half-life time and the reflex decay curve for the selected stimulus.
• Stimulus on-set marker (if needed, click and drag to adjust)
• Half-life marker (if needed, click and drag to adjust)
• Time line in seconds
• Stimulus on/stimulus off markers
• Deflection curve for the selected stimulus
B. Live baseline graph
The live baseline graph starts measuring the baseline as soon as a successful probe fit is achieved. It illustrates the sta-
bility of the physical measurement conditions. The stability is reflected directly in the deflection curves if a meas-
urement is made.
With particularly steep tympanograms, the stability of the baseline can often be improved by off-setting the target pres-
sure from the tympanometric peak pressure.
Variations that are in synchrony with the patient's pulse or breathing may prevent the measurements from being suc-
cessful.You can use the Admittance Recording test to record and report such variations (Zodiac Clinical only).
C. Tympanogram
The primary tympanogram is shown in this view.
