While in the Services Menu screen, press the button beneath the DOWN ARROW icon until "CAL./VER." is highlighted. Press the button beneath the SELECT icon.
Figure CT-5. Note: The shiny brass surfaces of the Glass Eye Tool which are facing the AT550 may require darkening to eliminate reflections. The square dots must be within the target squares or improper alignment of the system will occur resulting in incorrect readings, and/or asterisk readings.
Fire Around The Fire Around is a test which performs an alignment test of the optical system of the AT550. This test measures the optical alignment at the center of the test eye and then at eight equidistant points around the center of the eye.
Calibration ( Continued Tonometer Alignment This test displays the gain value for the applanation voltage of the measurement system. A value too high will cause saturation of the peak voltage and a value too low will cause asterisk readings. Note: Revision A (shown on the data plate on the lower section of the patient's side right cover - refer to Figure CT-10) units have a potentiometer on the...
