LaserOp Engraver
A laser engraver is needed to mark (engrave) the blank with reference marks which are then used to mark the lens visibly so the reference points can be easily located, for both power checks and edging purposes. Often, a symbol is also engraved indicating the design of the lens, the add power and index can be engraved – the lens could even include the name of the patient if desired.

6.1 .JOB files created by LDS calculator
In this configuration, the Shamir Prescriptor looks after creating the .JOB files, placing them into a shared folder which the LaserOp engraver is configured to look in. Because the Prescriptor has no means of knowing when jobs are shipped, OMICS should be configured with the location of the .JOB files in the digital type setup. Note, the path for LMS and PRM files should be left blank in this case – only the path for the .JOB files should be set. OMICS is configured to check for a .JOB file when a DS job is shipped, if the .JOB path is set.

6.3 VCA Interface
The third option is the connect the laser engraver to Rx-Universe using a standard VCA connection (either serial or TCP/IP). In this scenario, the engraver still needs to know what template and what Marking Parameter Set to use for a job.
