Sequence testing 

 

 

Seq. 

(automatic sequence 

testing) 

This function allows you to combine multiple measurements and run them 
in an automated sequence. 
Press this button to select automatic sequence testing. The buttons 
corresponding to the tests and test functions included in the sequence light 
up on the device, e.g., Tympan Ipsi and Contra Reflex Thresholds at 
several frequencies. 
When you press the 

Start/Stop 

button, all functions that have been 

selected for the sequence are performed. 
You can adjust any settings related to the tests included in the sequence.

Running tests 

 

 

Start/Stop 

This button is placed both on the device and on the diagnostic probe 
shoulder strap. 
This button is lit while a test is running. 

 

Press this button to perform a tympanometric measurement, to start 
reflex tests, and to present stimuli for manual reflex testing. 

 

During a test, press this button to stop the test. 

 

Auto-start 

Press this button to activate 

Auto start on seal 

before you place the probe 

in the patient's ear. 
This button is disabled when you use the Quick Check probe, which always 
uses
