Kowa Interface

(Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) interacts with the Kowa Digital Fundus Camera as follows:

  • Before the capture process when patient information is transferred from (Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) into Kowa Capture to create or update retinal images
  • During the review process when new or existing Kowa retinal images are available for on-screen review

The Kowa interface saves data to the Kowa database. You can view the images on all computers that have (Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) installed and the Kowa review interface enabled.

Network Connection Method

The Kowa interface uses a serial RS-232 cable or a null modem to connect to the computer or Terminal Server.

The Kowa interface can use only one camera per Terminal Server.

  • You must install (Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) and the Kowa software on the computer to which the Kowa equipment is connected. You then can install the Kowa software on the server on which (Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) is installed.
  • Contact Kowa to determine whether the Kowa software runs on an (Undefined variable: zzEIVariables.ProductName5) server and whether any additional licensing must be purchased when using it with Terminal Server.
