Tests in memory
The Tymp and Tymp Reflex test results are automatically stored in memory when the test
sequence ends. Audiometric test results are stored in memory when
is pressed. A
total of 12 memory pages are available with the TM286. Each Tymp, Tymp/Reflex or
individual ear in audiometry is assigned a page in memory. They are labelled M1 - M12.
Page mode
To review the individual test results, press the
button and enter "Page mode." The
word "Page" will be displayed in the center of the LCD. Testing cannot be performed while
the system is in the Page Mode. The memory number is located in the upper right-hand
corner of each screen. If, for example, only five tests were stored in memory, only five
memory locations can be viewed. The memory can be reviewed one page at a time by
pressing
the and
Hz button once and observing the result. The entire memory
can be scrolled through by holding thethe
and
Hz buttons down continuously.
Press the
button to exit "Page Mode" and continue testing.
Memory erase
If there is a particular test result that must be to delete before printing, enter the Page
mode by pressing
. Press
or
to display the test result and press
. This
erases that particular test result from memory. The LCD displays a blank screen for
erased memories with the memory location number located at the top right corner. Upon
exiting from the Page mode, the stored memories reshuffle and replace the empty
memory with the remaining tests in the order in which they were obtained. The Page
mode will be exited when you press the PRINT ALL
or
ERASE ALL
buttons or
any button that would normally begin the setup of a new test. Page Mode is ready only.
No changes can be made to audiometric results.
To erase all tests from memory, press the ERASE ALL
button.
Printing test results
The printout will begin with a header, if it is selected, in the program mode (i.e., TM286 or
a custom header). The next two lines contain space for recording the individuals name
and the test date. This is followed by the test results in the order they were obtained/
selected.
Either a single test can be printed from memory or the entire group of tests in memory
can be printed. To print a single test from memory, use the PAGE
button to enter the
Page mode and the
or
button to arrive at the desired test result to print. When
this test is displayed, press the PRINT SCREEN
button.
To print all tests in memory, press the PRINT ALL
button.
When
PRINT ALL
is
pressed and two audiogram tests are stored in memory, they will combine under the
following conditions. There must be one left test and one right test sequentially stored in
memory. A left and right audiometric pair of tests will not be combined if they are
separated in the memory by a Tymp test. Therefore, when tests are erased, the result
could cause a change in (left, right) or (right, left) sequence with Audiometric tests. This
would result in the wrong audiometric tests being combined when PRINT ALL
is
selected. Prior to selecting PRINT ALL
, scroll through the tests in memory to
determine where the audiometric tests are located.
To avoid accidental confusion of data, ERASE ALL
before starting a new test patient.
