b) Importing additional patient data in the form of a CSV table
Note:
Imported patient data is always added to existing entries in the database. No pre-
existing data records are deleted.
The data fields of any CSV table being imported must:
- be separated with the separator selected in the settings – either "," (comma) or ";" (semi-
colon)
- contain 5 separators (a concluding separator at the end after "contact" can also be added)
- follow this order: LastName,FirstName,DateOfBirth,ID,Location,Contact
- contain either the last name, first name or ID in every line; entry of the date of birth,
examination location and contact is optional
- use the same data format as the date format selected in the settings (e.g. 31.01.2013 or
01/31/2013). Years have four digits.

Note:
The column headings in the first line are not imported.
Save your CSV table (.csv") under the name "input" on a USB stick in the directory "/db" and
then connect this to the Plusoptix Binocular Autorefractor. Following, touch the data import
(2) button in the settings (1). A list of all CSV tables in the "/db" directory will be shown.
Select the CSV table to be imported and confirm your choice by touching the green
checkmark (3) in the navigation bar.
Before the patient data is now imported, the Plusoptix device will automatically check
whether the data records are correct (e.g. no figures in the "Name" field). However, muddled
data entries (e.g. first names instead of last names) cannot be automatically recognised. You
are prompted to check whether the patient data shown on the screen is in the correct order.
If yes, confirm the data import by touching the green checkmark (3) in the navigation bar.
