Electronic Balance Board; Operating Modes - Wayne Saccadic Fixator Instructions For Using Manual

supplied with 16 stick-on letters which should be placed on the face of the Saccadic Fixator or on
the Stick-ups. When placing letters on the Fixator, make sure that they do not obscure the lights;
it's best to place them just inside the outer circle of lights. The letters correspond to the lights
(numbered 1-16, starting at the top position) as follows:
Letter R L O W C A E N
Light 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
(12:00) (3:00)
The primary purpose of the ARC is to test and train rapid near/far accommodation; the trainee
stands or sits at a distance from the Fixator, fixates on one of the lights (far point) and then shifts
fixation to the ARC (near point) and presses the appropriate letter key. Program 9-36 is
specifically intended for testing accommodation; it presents a self-paced sequence of random
lights for 60 seconds. For training, set the elapsed time limit to zero (2-0). Lenses and prism
flippers can be used to augment this training.
The ARC may also be used with any program that uses only lights on the outer circle (set
parameter 5 to 2, 3, or 4 for 16, 8, or 4 lights respectively; 5-2,4-3,or 5-4, see Parameters and
Selections). For example, using the ARC with any of the visual memory programs will test and
train the ability to memorize letter sequences.
To test or train accommodation at varying distances, use the ARC in conjunction with 4, 8, or 16
Visual Stick-ups placed at different distances in front of the trainee.

Electronic Balance Board

Saccadic Programs in your manual for Balance Board: 9- 43 to 47
The Electronic Balance Board has 4 tilt-sensitive switches which detect imbalance in the four
cardinal positions (forward, backward, left, and right). The board can be plugged directly into the
Saccadic Fixator or into the Control Center Module (required for Balance mode, Balance Board
Integration and for use with the Visual Stick-ups).

Operating modes

The board can be used in three, modes: Balance mode, Quad mode and Integration mode.
In Balance mode the Saccadic will generate an auditory signal and count each time the user
activates a tilt switch by going "off" balance. The board is in Balance mode when the toggle
switch is in the "BALANCE" position.
In Balance mode the individual develops balance on the board. Each time the individual goes
"off" balance a tone is heard and the Saccadic records a count.
