EMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The remote control unit (RCU) designed for use with Flute and Viola
middle ear analyzers is illustrated below.
There are two buttons on the RCU: the first (START) has the same function
as the START/STOP button on the keyboard; the second button can be
pressed to select the side on which the stimulus is presented.
There are also two Leds, one of which indicates the ear being tested (red:
right ear; blue: left ear), the other indicating the status of the probe. This
information is also shown on the display of the instrument, and can be
summarized in the table below.
