Introduction

This document provides instructions for enabling the Tilt Compensation custom configurations to allow compensation for a progressive prism tilt induced at the blocker.

Procedure

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 3 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 6 – Configuration Editor and press Enter.

Select Option 6 – Edit Custom Configuration and press Enter.

The Custom Configuration Editor displays.

• Press “Q” to Query.
• Enter any relevant data and press Escape to perform the search.

If the table does not exist:

• Press “A” to add a new record.
• Enter all the information, as shown in the example below.
• Press Escape to save the data.
• Press “E” to exit.

Examples:

Below are examples of the entries that you can use. When running a progressive, the ofdemon program looks for entries with the Calling Program field value of “TILT COMP.”

It first looks for an entry with the Field Name of “TYPE-MAT” (the example below is PAN-PX). If found, the value in the Float Setting field is for tilt comp, base up in diopters.

If it does not find a record, it searches for Field Name of “TYPE” (the example below is PAN). If found, it uses the float value.

If not found, it searches for the Field Name of “DEFAULT” ( as shown in the example below).

If it does not find a record, there is no tilt compensation done.
