Computer Interface
INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The configuration of the GSI 39 computer interface must be set to match the interface configuration
of the computer. The GSI 39 defaults to 115 kBaud, no parity, 8 data bits, 2 stop bits and no
communications flow control. The default settings for the baud rate, parity, number of data bits and
flow control may be modified using the
Data Transfer Program Mode
explained earlier in this chapter.
CABLE CONNECTIONS
The computer interface provides a serial interface consisting of a USB connector.
GSI Suite
GSI Suite is a data management software program that is designed to store audiologic data and
generate electronic copies of results for attaching to the medical record. Electronic formats include
PDF, TIFF, JPEG, and XPS. It may be used as a standalone software package or as part of a networked
solution when paired with OtoAccess or NOAH 4.
The GSI Suite Audiometric Data Management software is compatible with the GSI 39. Data transferred
from the GSI 39 includes the following: tympanometric tracings and numeric data, reflex screening
results and audiometric thresholds (air conduction, unmasked) depending on the configuration of the
GSI 39. New test results obtained with GSI 39 instruments can only be transferred, viewed, and saved
within GSI Suite if they are connected to a computer. Previously stored data may be viewed for
evaluation or comparison without a connection to the GSI 39 instrument. Review the GSI Suite User
manual for a complete description of the computer requirements, set up, installation and features of
the software.
GSI SUITE INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
After configuring the GSI 39 computer interface and connecting the USB cable, install the GSI Suite
as per the instructions provided with the GSI Suite software. Connect the USB cable between the
computer and the GSI 39. Run the GSI Suite software and configure the software for connection
with the GSI 39.
