ClearChart 2 and Auto Phoroptor RS

Setup

Communication between the ClearChart 2 and Auto Phoroptor RS is bi-directional,
allowing for the use of either the ClearChart 2 remote or the scroll wheel on the Auto
Phoroptor RS Controller to change the charts presented to the patient.
The chart displayed to the patient on the ClearChart 2 will be visible in a window on
the LCD screen of the Auto Phoroptor RS Controller as shown below.
Preferred default settings for optotype, alternate optotype, notation (Snellen or Deci-
mal), and size progression (Standard or Logmar) can be selected in the ClearChart 2
menu using the remote (refer to Configuring the ClearChart 2 section in this manual).
The Auto Phoroptor will recognize and respond to those settings.
Communication between the ClearChart 2 and the Auto Phoroptor RS is immediate
once both instruments have been powered on after either a hard wired or wireless
connection has been established.
Note: If the Auto Phoroptor RS has established communication with the ClearChart
2 and the ClearChart 2 is turned off and then rebooted, a signal must be
sent to the Auto Phoroptor RS to initialize communication between the two
instruments. This can be accomplished by pressing the "C" button twice on
the Controller of the Auto Phoroptor RS to clear the refraction data and reset
the instrument to its default settings. Make sure that any refraction data you
need are saved before resetting the instrument.
