3 Setup and installation

3.1 Introduction to the VisualEyes™ software
The VisualEyes™ software combines cutting-edge technology with touch-screen capability in a streamlined
software interface. The VisualEyes™ software is considered as the gold standard for testing the vestibular
system and oculomotor function, a process known as vestibular assessment. It involves the use
of infrared goggles or electrodes to record and analyze eye movements during visual stimulation, positional
changes and caloric stimulation. The VisualEyes™ software can be configured with a rotary chair to test
patients' vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR). This software can also be configured with VORTEQ
vHIT AHR and DVA.
3.2 Installation of the VisualEyes™ software
If the computer is purchased from Interacoustics, all the software / databases / drives (e.g: OtoAccess®
Database, VisualEyes™, rotational chair drivers) are preinstalled. If the customer wants to install VisualEyes™
software in any other computer or in the event of re-installation, the following procedure is to be followed for
successful installation.
Ensure that the chosen computer is compliant with all minimum PC requirements (refer to section 6.1) and that
OtoAccess® Database is installed prior to the installation of the VisualEyes™ software. Consult the OtoAccess®
Database instructions for use to install the software on computers bought outside Interacoustics. To install the
VisualEyes™ software, run the Micromedical VisualEyes™ Installer.exe file from the VisualEyes™ installation
media.

3.3 Installation of DAQ hardware driver for data acquisition components

NOTICE
Ensure that the DAQ hardware software is installed for data acquisition from the hardware
components such as rotational chairs, DataLink and VLink. Refer to the installation procedures below. After
installation, the operator can refer to 'Addtional Information' for the settings to register these hardware
components in the 'Remember to register these components' in the VisualEyes™ system.
3.3.1

Installing DAQ hardware driver for Orion Chair/System 2000 chair/DataLink/VLink

Open Windows® Explorer. Navigate to the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Interacoustics\Micromedical VisualEyes™\Driverfiles and run the program icalsetup.exe.
Click on Setup to begin installing InstaCal.
Choose to install InstaCal to the default location of C:\Program Files (x86)\Measurement Computing\DAQ\.
When asked which program features should be installed, choose the default option to install the Universal
Library Examples.
During installation, Windows Security may request permission to install the device software from Measurement
Computing. Check the box to always trust software from 'Measurement Computing', then choose Install. The
computer will need to be rebooted after the InstaCal setup is complete.
After the computer has been restarted, launch the InstaCal software. Before launching the Instacal software,
ensure that the USB cable from the chair is connected to the system and the Rotational Chair is powered on.
Give few seconds for all hardware to go through auto-discovery after connecting USB cable. You can find the
software at the below-mentioned locations.
In Windows® 7 / 8.1, click on Start > All Programs > Measurement Computing > InstaCal.
In Windows® 10, click on Start > All apps > Measurement Computing > InstaCal.
