Using the Essilor Interface

  1. Ensure that the Essilor device is connected to the computer that ExamWRITER is installed on with the CBOX XML shared folder interface.
  2. Ensure that ExamWRITER is open.
  3. Create a blank exam, or open a saved exam for an existing patient.
  4. In the ExamWRITER chart window, click the Interfaces icon.
  5. Select the Essilor device that corresponds to your Essilor equipment. If you gave the equipment a nickname in the Eyefinity Equipment Interface Setup window, that name appears in this list.

    The Eyefinity Equipment Interface window opens and displays this message: Waiting on Exam Data from DeviceName.

  6. Use the Essilor device to perform the exam tests.

    The test data is automatically transmitted to the computer at the end of the test. You can also press Print on the Essilor device’s operation panel to transmit the data to the computer.

    The device’s built-in thermal printer prints the recorded data and displays this message: Printing result data. After all the data is transmitted from the operation panel to the computer, the Waiting for Exam Data window closes and the data is displayed in the patient exam.
