Who this is for: All Barti users.
Before you start, you'll need:
The Barti Machine Integration app installed and configured on your computer (see How do I set up Barti's machine integration?)
An open patient exam in Barti
Steps
Take a reading from your device.
Export the reading using the device's Print or Output button. The Barti Machine Integration app picks up the file automatically — you'll see the green icon in your taskbar spin briefly as it processes.
Open the patient's exam in Barti.
Click Review Imported Data in the exam. [VERIFY: confirm exact location — source spec says "top-right corner of the exam."]
Select the reading from the list.
Click Assign Imported Data to populate the exam fields.
Act within 5 minutes. Only readings imported in the last 5 minutes appear in the in-exam Review Imported Data list. If more than 5 minutes have passed, see Finding older or unassigned readings below.
How device data maps to exam fields
When you assign a reading, Barti maps the data as follows:
Prescription → Glasses Rx
Objective Data → Manifest Refraction
Everything else → Other Refraction
If a value doesn't appear where you expect it, check the field category above before assuming the import failed.
Finding older or unassigned readings
If a reading didn't get assigned within 5 minutes, it moves to the unassigned queue. To find it:
In Barti, navigate to Exams > Imported Data.
Locate the reading.
What you'll see when it works
The refractive data from your device populates the corresponding fields in the patient's exam. If the green icon on the Barti Machine Integration app is spinning, the app is actively processing a file.
Troubleshooting
My reading isn't appearing in Review Imported Data.
First, confirm it hasn't been more than 5 minutes since the reading was exported — if so, check Exams > Imported Data instead. If the reading isn't appearing there either, see Barti machine integration troubleshooting for step-by-step diagnosis.
The data appeared in the wrong exam field.
Check the data mapping above. If the values are in the right category but the wrong field.
