Method for adjusting a transmission characteristic of an electronic circuit
First Claim
1. Method for the adjustment of a transmission characteristic of an electronic circuit (1), wherein a computing means (2) with a display device (3) and a pointing and/or selecting device (4) is made ready, a data transmission connection (6) between the electronic circuit (1) to be adjusted and the computer (2) is made, a current transmission characteristic of the electronic circuit (1) is represented by a graphic diagram on the display device (3), with the help of the pointing and/or selecting device (4), if and when required a point (10.1, 10.2, . . . ) or a segment of the graphic diagram is selected on the display device (3) and the graphically represented transmission characteristic is changed with the pointing and/or selecting device (4), as a result of which also prescription for modifying certain operating parameters is evaluated, and the modified operating parameters are transmitted to the electronic circuit (1) and are there stored in memory, characterised in that the transmission characteristic of the electronic circuit (1) is represented as a structure (8) in a three-dimensional graphic diagram on the display device (3).

Abstract
In the method for the adjusting of a transmission characteristic of an electronic circuit, for example, in a hearing aid (1), a computer (2) with a monitor screen (3) and a mouse (4) are made ready. The hearing aid (1) to be adjusted is connected with the computer (2). The current operating parameters of the hearing aid (1) are transmitted to the computer (2). The computer (2) from the operating parameters calculates the current transmission characteristic and represents this on the monitor screen (3) as a three-dimensional graphic diagram. The acoustics specialist with the help of the mouse (3) selects a point of a segment of the graphic diagram and modifies the graphically depicted transmission characteristic by moving the mouse (4). As a result of this, also the current operating parameters are modified. From these, a new current transmission characteristic is calculated and represented on the monitor screen (3) as a three-dimensional graphic diagram. This adaptation process is repeated for as long as required, until the current transmission characteristic coincides with the desired response. Once this has been achieved, the current operating parameters are transmitted from the computer (2) to the hearing aid (1) and there stored in memory. This method is more intuitive, more graphically vivid and more easily handled than those known up until now, where only two-dimensional representations of the transmission characteristic are utilised. The method enables a more effective adjustment of the transmission characteristic and, in the case of hearing aids, a better hearing.
