Data Input

Previous measurements can be imported as a starting point for a refraction. The data table containing
columns of data is on the main screen. These columns are used to display data imported from connect-
ed equipment, or data entered manually. Refer to Figure PE-03.

Inputting Data Electronically

The Phoroptor VRx allows data to be entered electronically from pre-test equipment, such as Lensme-
ters and Auto Refractors. Entering data into the Phoroptor VRx is possible using one of the following
options:
• Direct Connection - The lensmeter and autorefractor are directly connected to the Phoroptor VRx
using a serial cable or Bluetooth adapter, and their data populates the AR and LM data fields.
• Imported Data List - The pre-test data is sent directly to the Phoroptor VRx and the data are stored in
a Data List.
• EMR - If the EMR system interfacing with the Phoroptor VRx supports two-way communication, the
pre-test devices can send data to the EMR system, and then the EMR system sends the pre-test
data to the Phoroptor VRx. When pre-test data is sent to the Phoroptor VRx from the EMR, it will
automatically populate the AR, LM, and REF fields.
