A total of four parameters are scored (0 for normal, 1 for abnormal) providing a total score range of 0-4 (4 being the most number of abnormal results). The current test type being analysed is indicated in red. In cases where a specific type of Ewing measurement is not available for the subject on the same day, the global score will indicate 'Not Available' where appropriate.

Legacy com ports are still supported for customers with serial models.
