Installation Help

To correctly install and use the audiometer with EH the following considerations are important to note:

• The interface uses Java to interact with the device; Java must be installed on each PC that is connected to the audiometer.
• The import menu is not installed on a default system, it must be added from the menu editor in the Control Panel.
  • To select the options that appear in the dropdown of the import page, add “?f=wc_import&s=edit” to the URL and select the desired options.
