Connect External Devices to the Phoroptor VRx

The basic system setup contains three items programmed to interact with each other: the Phoroptor
Head, the Central Unit, and the Controller. The Central Unit directs communication between the
Phoroptor Head, Controller, and other external devices, while the Controller acts as the user interface
and controls the Phoroptor Head and the Input/Output of data.
The Phoroptor VRx is also designed to communicate with acuity systems, available from Reichert and a
few other manufacturers. These acuity systems are configured to communicate with the Phoroptor VRx.
(Please refer to Appendix A for a complete list of acuity systems that interface with the Phoroptor VRx.)
Note: Ensure that the device with which you are interfacing is compatible with the Phoroptor VRx.
(Please refer to Appendix A for a list of external devices that connect to the Phoroptor VRx.)
External devices, including digital acuity systems, projectors, Lensmeters, Auto Refractors, printers,
and computers are connected using serial cables or Bluetooth wireless serial adapters. (Please refer to
Appendix A for a complete list of external devices and necessary connection cables or Bluetooth dongle
kits to communicate with the Phoroptor VRx.)
External devices are also connected using Bluetooth wireless serial adapters. (Please refer to
Appendix A for a complete list of Bluetooth dongle kits for connecting different external devices to the
Phoroptor VRx.)
