Convenons Used Throughout This Manual
The following convenons are used in the manual to describe the Console, instruments, and operaon:
• Calibraon - The process of using a known force or angle to adjust the instrument parameters so that any
arbitrary force or angle input can be accurately determined.
• Control Sck - The singular mul-axis buon on the Commander Echo Console, which can be moved up,
down, le, right, and pressed, in order to operate the Console.
• CV - The coecient of variaon (CV) is dened as the rao of the standard deviaon (σ) to the mean (μ), or
in mathemacal terms, CV = σ / μ. In probability theory and stascs, CV serves as a normalized measure
of variability to help describe the relave scaer or spread of a data sample. A smaller CV suggests a higher
level of consistency. A calculated CV less than 15% (0.15) is oen used as an indicator of consistent eort
by subjects during biometric strength tests. This value is displayed in the review screen of the Console.
Commander Echo calculates CV using populaon standard deviaon. Note that this diers from CV
calculated using the sample standard deviaon, which can give a very dierent result.
• Device - Refers to both the Commander Echo Console and any Commander Echo instrument.
• Exam - This term is used to refer to a group of tests performed with the same instrument.
• Hold - Indicates that the Control Sck should be pressed and held.
• Instrument - This refers to a JTECH Medical tesng device, used in conjuncon with the Commander Echo
Console to record test data.
• Press - Indicates that the Control Sck should be pressed and released.
• Repeon, or Rep - A single instance of measuring performance for a designated instrument.
• RF - Radio Frequency.
• ROM - Range of Moon.
• Side - Either le or right, noted as L and R, respecvely.
• Test - Used to refer to a group of repeons performed for one or more sides with a given instrument.
• Threshold - The minimum force or angle that must be exceeded to start or end a repeon.
• Zero or Zero Calibraon or Set Zero - The process of determining the instrument parameters when no force
or angle is applied to the instrument
Convenons Used Throughout The Console Menus

• Cal. - See Manual convenon Calibraon.
• CV% - See Manual convenon CV (Coecient of Variaon).
• DEF% - Percent Deciency, a value calculated from test informaon and displayed in the review screen.
• DEG. - Abbreviaon on the Console for degree.
• DEL. ALL - Abbreviaon on the console for Delete All. A global funcon that deletes all test data.
• DIFF. - Abbreviaon on the Console for dierence. A calculated value for the Maximum angle.
• FAT% - Fague Percent, a value calculated from med test informaon and displayed in the review screen.
• INC - Abbreviaon on the Console for Inclinometer.
• MMT - Abbreviaon on the Console for Manual Muscle Tester.
• Press any key - Indicaon to press the Control Sck in any direcon or into the console.
• Press Enter - Indicaon to press the Control Sck into the console.
• PRI. - Abbreviaon on the Console for Primary Inclinometer.
• POS - Refers to the calibraon posion for the Inclinometer.
• Ready Time - Starng delay before a test rep begins recording data, this is used to ensure transient forces
are not recorded.
• REPS - See Manual convenon Repeon.
• REV - Revision. Hardware Rev is specied on Device label. Firmware REV is noted in the informaon screens
• SEC. - Abbreviaon on the Console for Secondary Inclinometer.
• SFG - Abbreviaon on the Console for Stac Force Gauge.
• SN - Serial Number also referred to as device ID#.
• WT. CT - Weight Count. Instrument reading of a known physical value which is not neutral or minimal.
• Zero CT - Zero Count The value of a force or angle input when the instrument is neutral or equal to zero.

Messages
A number of messages exist that will be displayed on the Console LCD when certain condions are met. Each
message is displayed with a message number as described below.
Message # Message Descripon
Message 1: No Communicaon Received This is displayed anyme that a connected instrument fails to
communicate with the Console for approximately 10 seconds.
It indicates that communicaon between the instrument and
the Console has been lost.
Message 2: All Tests Have Been Completed This is displayed any me the user tries to begin a new test
and no free tests exist within the set tesng range. For
example, if the user sets the number of tests (in sengs) to
5, enters test mode, and completes 5 tests (in any order) then
this message will be displayed at the conclusion of the 5th
test.
Note that if the user deletes a single test (such as test #2) and
then enter test mode again, as soon as they complete test #2
the message will reappear. If the user deletes a single test,
deletes all tests, or increases the number of tests (in sengs)
they can connue tesng.
Message 3: Primary Device Buer
Overow
This is displayed during tesng if the primary instrument’s
sample data buer is lled to capacity (due to communicaon
issues). This stops tesng to prevent loss of sampled data.
Message 4: Secondary Device Buer
Overow
This is displayed during tesng if the secondary instrument’s
sample data buer is lled to capacity (due to communicaon
issues). This stops tesng to prevent loss of sampled data.
Message 5: No Communicaon, Primary
Device
This is idencal to message 1 except it is displayed when two
devices are connected (like Dual Inclinometry) to indicate
that communicaon between the primary instrument and the
Console has been lost.
Message 6: No Communicaon, Secondary
Device
This is idencal to message 1 except it is displayed when two
devices are connected (like Dual Inclinometry) to indicate that
communicaon between the secondary instrument and the
Console has been lost
Message 7: There Are No Saved Tests To
Review
This message is displayed if the user tries to enter the review
screen when there are no saved tests. It is also displayed if the
user is in the review screen and deletes the last saved test.
Message 8: Program Timeout This message is displayed when the Console starts-up aer a
forced restart.
Message 9: Device Not Synced This message is displayed when two instruments (Dual
Inclinometry) lose synchronizaon. This prevents two sampled
data values from dierent mes from being used in the
instrument calculaons.
Message 10: Bad Time-Stamp, Primary
Device
This message is displayed during tesng mode if the Console
receives an out-of-order RF packet from the primary
instrument. This ensures data integrity is maintained.
