<Save>: The profile will be saved onto the harddrive under the provided name. This also occurs when the option <Save settings when signing-off ACAM> is disabled.

<Save settings when signing-off ACAM>: This option saves all current settings in the ACAM System when closing. When the ACAM System is re-started all the previous settings will be re-applied. If this option is not selected, all changes will not be saved.

The blue highlighted line represents the enabled setup. Click the mouse on another entry and the current set-up will be saved and the new profile will be loaded and enabled. You can change between the ACAM System settings quickly. Deleting or creating new profiles as well as renaming profiles is described below.

When the ACAM System starts, you can select a special profile to be used. If this option is enabled a query appears when starting ACAM:

This window appears and you may select a profile to be applied at the startup of the ACAM System. The Standard profile is always preselected. Click <Cancel> to start with the Standard profile.

It is possible to protect the profiles against accidental manipulations.

See below under password protection.

If the above feature is enabled, a window will appear where you can enter in the password you would like to use to protect certain files.

A context menu appears providing different manipulation options:

Use on startup:

Selects this profile as a start-up profile (detectable by the appendix ***Start-up profile***).

Create profile:

The selected profile (here standard) is copied and a dialog asks you to enter a file name:

Figure : Create new profile

Here you can select a new name for the profile. Click <Create profile> to save the file name.

Delete profile:

Deletes the selected profile. The standard profile may not be deleted. If you delete a profile that was set to be the start-up profile, the standard profile is re-established as the start-up profile.

Rename profile:

Opens a window where the selected profile name is entered.

Figure : Change profile name

Enter a new profile name. Select <Create profile> to save the file name.

Change nothing:

Closes the selection menu. No changes are performed.

ACAM Size: Here you determine whether the ACAM System will start in the window mode (1024x768 Pixel) or in the full screen mode (your desktop resolution). This setting is not applied until the computer is restarted.

Animation of tabs: select <Tabs with pictogram> to display pictures near the description of the tab.

• <Version 1>: Displays an open folder for the enabled tab.
• <Version 2>: Displays an opened folder for the enabled tab and a closed folder for all other tabs.

• <Version 3>: Displays a red point for the enabled tab.

When signing-off with NOAH:

This screen provides the following options:

• <Save tone and speechaudiogram as diagram>
• <Save tone and speechaudiogram as data>

These features allow you to save the ACAM System data as text or picture files which allow them to be opened in other programs. The standard folder where these data are saved is: "C:\Programme\ACAM\". It is possible to change the folder where the items will be saved each time you need to save something. To save disk space you should select these options only when you really want to use these formats. For details of the formats please refer to the section: "Technical Information."

<ACAM window always in the foreground>

This prevents the ACAM System window from being covered by other windows. This may be useful when working with the ACAM System and a fitting module.

<Create NOAH data at sign-off>

This option creates empty forms for a data set within NOAH. For example, when no audiogram is available, there may be one saved in NOAH, but the folder remains empty. Serves for troubleshooting in older versions of the NOAH Software.

<Load last 10 NOAH-sessions>

Loads the last 10 audiograms from NOAH into the ACAM System memory. This allows for comparisons to be made between audiological characteristics. In the ACAM System you can display or print the current diagram or an older diagram.

<Compare saved data from NOAH with current memory>

When this feature is enabled, the ACAM System can notify you when storage problems occur within NOAH. The ACAM System will check whether the data have been completely received by NOAH and will notify you if this has occurred.

<Fast ACAM restart>

This option is useful if you have the demo version of the ACAM System software. It is also useful if you want to quickly access available measuring curves or audiogram data. This will allow the ACAM System to bypass non-relevant features at the startup and focus only on the selected data you wish you retrieve.

<AkuWin Interface (Store)>

Select this option when you use the AkuWin software. Then ACAM System accesses the fitting information saved within the AkuWin store and saves it within the specified patient's file. This feature only works with the old AkuWin version, not with AkuWin NT.

<Undo activated>

Switch on and off the undo function. Please refer to the section: "Administration: delete/export/import" for more information.

Starts the ACAM System's remote maintenance program. Please refer to the section "Remote maintenance" for more information.
