WinCHAP NOAH
®
3 Module
8.1 Introduction
The FONIX WinCHAP NOAH module is a program that runs inside NOAH 3
and allows you to import and export data between NOAH and WinCHAP. More
specifically, you can use it to:
• Export client information from NOAH 3 to WinCHAP
• Import and export the client’s audiogram to and from NOAH 3 and
WinCHAP
This lets you grab a NOAH audiogram and insert it into WinCHAP. From
WinCHAP, you can either create one of the linear targets and send it over to
your FONIX hearing aid analyzer (see Section 5.5.1), or you can use the DSL/
NAL test to perform DSL or NAL-NL1 fittings (see Chapter 7).
All real-ear and coupler measurements are saved in WinCHAP and not in
NOAH 3. If you want to work exclusively in NOAH 3 and not use the WinCHAP
database, see our other program, the FONIX NOAH Module.A free demo of this
product is available on our website: http://www.frye.com.
There is also a separate NOAH 3 import utility in WinCHAP that allows you to
import the entire NOAH 3 database using the NOAH 3 XML data export func
-
tion. This is described in Section 8.6.
