USING AUDIOMETRIC DATA
3.6.1 Viewing test results
Once a test has been completed the results are available to view graphically, on the Audiogram page (Section
9.3) or numerically, on the Test details page (Section 9.4). Note that hearing thresholds may be entered directly
on the test details page if required. This is particularly useful for entering details of a previous test (e.g. from
paper records) before performing a new test (see Section 9.5 for an example).
3.6.2 Saving test results
Audiometric and patient data may be saved in the internal database (Section 9.4.1). This is referenced by a
patient number which should be uniquely assigned to each patient.
3.6.3 Exporting test results
Audiometric and patient data may be transferred to a computer running the Amplivox Audibase database
software, or similar application (Section 9.4.2).
3.6.4 Printing test results
If required it is possible to print audiograms using an optional designated printer. Pre-printed audiogram paper
is available for this purpose (Section 9.4.3).
3.6.5 Copying the database
The entire database may be copied on to a USB memory device with the option of data encryption for
enhanced security. This is vital for data backup purposes, but it is also possible to quickly transfer the data to
computer for use in Audibase (or similar application) by this means. Data may be transferred to the audiometer
in the same way (e.g. for restoring data) again with the option of data encryption. See Section 10.4.7.
