Note that the chart number used for a digital job is determined by the chart number of the digital lens style, NOT the chart number of the SV donor blank used.
Automatic Selection of Design based on Segment Height
It is possible to set the alias up so that OMICS can select the best design to use based on the seg height of the job. For example, take a digital design available in 3 corridor lengths, with different minimum seg heights, as follows:
| Design | Min Seg Height |
|---|---|
| DIG18 | 18 |
| DIG14 | 14 |
| DIG11 | 11 |
The lens style setup for each lens must have the minimum seg height set, and the “Min SegHt Action” option must be set to “Y”:
...
When entering an order, always enter with lens style DIG11 – Rx-Universe will then check the seg height, automatically switching the design to DIG14 or DIG18 if necessary, and will select the SV lens from inventory to process the job.
Base Curve Selection of Digital Designs
If the digital design is one for which the DS calculator can provide the allowable/preferred base curve range, Rx-Universe can use that method instead of using charts to select the base curve. This is set up on the lens style using the checkbox called “Use BRS to get BC from DS”:
When this lens style is used, Rx-Universe will request the base curve to use from the DS calculator by creating a BRS file in the outgoing folder, and will display a message “REQUESTING BASE CURVE FROM DIGITAL PROCESSOR” during blank selection while it does this. If it does not receive a response back from the processor, or no blanks are available with the base curve selected, the appropriate message will be given.
