Follow the Instructions for RevIntegrator before continuing with these instructions.

Instructions

Connect

The cable connections depend on the device. If using a USB-to-Serial (RS232) adapter, we recommend choosing from the following: Dynex DX-UBDB9, IO Gear GUC232A, Ativa 8280545, Startech 4 Port RS-232 Serial to USB Adapter (Model #ICUSB2324).

Contact your Canon support representative for help with connecting devices to each other or to the computer. Once the cable is connected, please note the COM port number, usually COM 1 though 5 are used. The serial cable for the RK-F2 is found on the bottom of the device.

Configuration

Integrator

1. Open RevIntegrator on your desktop, click the Settings menu to add a Canon device.
2. Click 'Add Device.'
3. Select the Canon device from the list, click 'Add Device.' 
4. The newly added device will appear in the top half of the Settings screen. Device settings are displayed in the lower half of the screen. Highlight "Port" and a dropdown menu icon will be available. Choose the appropriate COM port number. 
5. Click 'Save.'

• Common Questions:
  • How do I know which COM Port to use? We typically recommend using process of elimination
    to determine the COM Port number. The Windows Device Manger, Ports (COM & LPT), displays
    a list of COM or serial ports attached to the PC. In order to determine what COM
    port a given device is plugged into, follow these steps:
    • Start at the device and trace the cable back to where it connects with the PC. If
      the connection is a USB-to-Serial port adapter cable, then pull the cable out and
      watch the Device Manger COM port list refresh on the screen. The port that disappears
      from the list is the port you are plugged into.
    • Reconnect the USB-to-Serial port adapter cable and the COM port should re-appear
      in the list. 
  • How do I connect multiple devices to the same PC? When connecting multiple devices, each device has its own COM port to use. For example, the Canon RK-F2 device could be plugged into COM Port #1, while a Topcon CT-80 device could be plugged into COM Port #3. Once cabled to the PC, each device can be added to RevIntegrator and then configured for the correct COM Port number. Note: When using RevIntegrator to capture data, make sure to select the proper device, click 'Capture Data' and then capture the measurements on that device.

Device

The chin rest, joystick button, and joystick roller (blue/gray grip on the joystick) are used to navigate the settings menu. From the regular measurements screen, the settings menu can be selected with the two bottom center buttons. The second button from the left toggles between Measure and Menu. The third button from the left toggles between Data and Menu. Verify and change if necessary, the following settings:

• Format: RK-F2
• Baudrate: 9600
• Data Bit: 8 bit
• Parity: NONE
• Stop Bit: 1 bit

Capture Device Data

1. Open RevIntegrator to select the patient.
2. If multiple devices are setup, click to select the appropriate device.
3. Click 'Capture Data.' The Capture Data screen will wait for you to work with the patient.  
4. Work with the patient and the device to capture measurements. Click 'Print' on the device to send the measurement output to both the device's printer and serial port.
5. Measurement data will display in the Preview Data screen. Click 'Send to RevolutionEHR' to transfer the measurements to the patient's Encounter.
6. In RevolutionEHR, open the patient's encounter. If you do not see the test results, click the refresh button in the bottom center of the encounter test screen. The RK-F2 device provides data for Autorefraction and Keratometry.
