Chapter 14: Exporting using ASCII Link
ASCII Link is a utility program that lets you download data from the Welch Allyn OAE Hearing
Screener unit's memory to a PC and convert it to an ASCII file. This tool lets you save Welch Allyn
OAE Hearing Screener data in your own spreadsheet where you can use it for research. To use
the ASCII Link program:
1. Install the ASCII Link program from the Welch Allyn OAE Inservice Guide CD.
2. Attach the Welch Allyn OAE Hearing Screener unit to the computer using the USB cable
provided with the system.
3. Launch the ASCII Link program. (Be aware that this application will automatically
delete all tests from the Welch Allyn OAE Hearing Screener memory after the
conversion to ASCII format has been performed.)
This application automatically transfers the data from the Welch Allyn OAE Hearing
Screener to the computer and converts it to an ASCII file.
4. The ASCII file can be found in the directory C:\Program Files\Welch Allyn\OAE Hearing
Screener\ASCII Link. The filename and extension is “asciilink.axo”.
5. The AXO file is a space delimited ASCII file. Each line contains the following information:
