Loading the Calibration
Before leaving MedRx, each Avant
Audiometer is calibrated in
compliance with the ANSI S3.6
standard. This calibration procedure
results in a series of files that the
software reads to keep the hardware
in calibration. These files are
supplied on a CD bearing the same
serial number as your device.
The final step before using your
Avant to evaluate hearing is to load
these device-specific calibration files
onto the computer used to control the
device.
1. With the Calibration CD in the
drive, open the Avant software
and click:
•Function
•Calibrate
•Load Calibration
2. After a few seconds, the CD will
“spin up” and this message will
appear.
•Click Load
3. When the files are finished
being loaded, this message will
appear.
•Click OK to complete loading
the calibration.
