Frye FONIX FP40D - Manual (Page 12)

4 FONIX FP40 Portable Hearing Aid Analyzer
1.3.5 ID Option
The ID Option personalizes the printout strips with the owner’s name and address or phone
number. Specify two lines of 27 characters each at time of purchase, and we will program them
into your instrument. The ID can be changed for a modest fee with an exchange of PROMs
(Programmable Read Only Memory).
1.3.6 RS232 Option
The RS232 Option allows you to hook your analyzer up to a computer so you can grab your ana-
lyzer data from your analyzer and save it on your computer. It includes internal FP40 software and
external RS232 cables and connectors. In order for you to communicate with your analyzer, you
will also need a corresponding program on your computer, such as WinCHAP. It is also possible to
create your own custom program for communicating with your FP40.
1.3.7 OES (Occluded Ear Simulator) Option
The OES Option provides special couplers, (the MZ series) and correction factors to produce the
same results as a real ear simulator (Zwislocki coupler) when simulating occluded ear measure-
ments in the sound chamber. See Section 3.7 for more details.
1.3.8 CIC (Completely In the Canal) Option
The CIC Option was designed as a realistic coupler test for CIC hearing aids. It uses a 0.4 cc cou-
pler combined with software correction factors in order to create a response curve that is more like
what you would expect to see in a person’s ear than the response curve you will get using a stan
dard HA-1 coupler. See Section 3.6 for more details.
