Surface Calculation Program |
The heart of the Visual Lab program. It allows you to select lenses from the
Lens Specifications database. This selection is then combined with the patient’s
RX information and your equipment specifications in order to provide dependable
surface calculations. New laser printer surface ticket and invoice formats now
contain barcodes, trace and seg graphics, bold print for important items, along
with many other new Rx details. |
|
Lens Specifications Database |
Allows you to add, delete, search or change any of the specifications for lenses
you will be using in your surface lab. Specifications for over 950 different
lens products are currently included in this database. |
|
Frames Specifications Database |
Holds information about frame names, their measurements and other data to assist
in the surfacing and edging of lenses. Data can be added, changed, deleted,
sorted, or searched. (Note: You can import data into this database if you are a
subscriber to FRAMES Data Service.) |
|
Trace Manager |
Allows for the management and storage of traces from frame tracers. Trace
modification is also supported along with the ability to create a frame shape
library. On screen graphics display the trace in life size separated by the
actual DBL. |
|
Job Tracking |
Lab operators can quickly retrieve tracking information about a job by invoice
number or patient name. Interfaced equipment registers entries into the
customer’s tracking file automatically. Additional entries may be manually added
to the tracking data for any lab operations that do not involve interfaced
equipment. |
|
Report Capabilities |
Production and sales reports are produced quickly and easily in a variety of
chart styles. |
|
Remote Service Utility |
Although it is unusual to have a problem that cannot be resolved with a phone
call, Visual Lab now contains a remote service utility. This program allows
Visual Lab service personnel to perform various trouble shooting operations and
other maintenance operations from almost any location in the world through the
modem in your computer. |

Visual Lab Calculation Software
Part #: 55649 |
This package is primarily designed for small to medium sized surface labs. The
surface calculator can be used in a multi-user-networked environment, but the
customer is required to purchase an additional licensing agreement for each
additional workstation. Special installation procedures are required in a
multi-user environment. |
Visual Lab Remote Software
Part #: 55642 |
Visual Lab Remote enables creation and transmission of remote site orders that
may or may not include a trace. The remote site orders are transmitted through a
modem over regular dial-up phone lines. This package is normally used to send
orders to the Visual Lab Host program so they can be processed through Visual
Lab. The program interfaces with a variety of tracers and can be used in a
networked environment. |
Visual Lab Trace Server Software
Part #: 55647 |
This program acts as a trace server and translator between various brands of
finish equipment. It provides almost unlimited trace storage capability limited
only by hard drive space. TraceServer is appropriate for a finish lab that does
not need a surface calculator and can be used in a networked environment. |
