#B;126;Wrong DRILLE Format. The drill eye must be equal to the lens eye;E

...

This indicates a problem with the height of the frame shape - likely because Zeiss is interpreting the frame data sent in a non-VCA way - sample job at one lab, Zeiss showed they were understanding the frame shape as below - the solution to this error is a configuration change on the Zeiss side.  We found, however, that changing the number of points we send to 72 solves the problem.

Surface Radius Smaller Than Tool Radius

Version 15.0.3.0 of the Satisloh generator software does more critical checking of the tools, so this error can occur when the radius of the surface is smaller than the tool radius:
A very strong curve as follows:

Can result in the following error

The following suggestions to fix this issue have been suggested by Satisloh:

...

At the macro management on the Generator you will find the surface smoothing, options. Here you select from off to light, medium or strong, as well as further refining the macros from -5 up to +5.  Negative values make the test less sensitive, positive value more sensitive.

3. On Blended bifocal designs if none of the above work, try using a larger _BLEND value (for Crossbows only). This will give a smoother transition between distance and segment areas and may eliminate the issue.

This error, appearing on the VFT generator, is caused by either an LDTYPE that the generator doesn't recognize, or a mis-match between the surface point file format, and the LDTYPE sent to the generator.  Some possible causes and solutions are:
1) Rx-Universe is sending LDTYPE=HMF for Zeiss jobs.  HMF is not recognized by the VFT as a valid option for Zeiss.  Upgrading to version 6.45.07 or later of Rx-Universe will cause LDTYPE=STF to be sent for HMF format files.  Another solution is to ask Zeiss to send LDTYPE in the LMS packet, and then set Rx-Universe to use LDTYPE (on the Device tab of the digital type setup):

This latter solution is necessary if Zeiss sends SDF data as Schneider format data in the XML (this has been encountered at some labs).

 

Device Errors

"Essilor software not installed"

This message can appear on the Satisloh Orbit generator - in most cases, suppressing LDVEN on the generator will resolve this problem.
