Daisy-chaining (connecting lensometers to autorefractors) is not supported.

For the device to transfer data to the equipment interface, you must set several parameters on your Marco equipment as follows:

  1. To access the Parameter Set screen and set each of the parameters, follow the instructions in your device manual.
  2. When you finish setting the parameters, exit Parameter Set mode, turn off the device, and turn it back on.

The following table shows the parameter number and setting for each of the parameters on each device.
