I haven't used Visual Basic much, but as I recall there are different input mode configurations for handling text (ASCII) and binary data. That may be worth exploring.

TRCFMT=3 is a binary differential format. The values sent will not appear as readable characters. The garbage characters immediately after the "R=" are probably the start of the trace data. If the...
I am trying to recall the various ways the Triumph Edger and Tracer communicate. I wrote the software for the Translator back in 1996 so I am sure I have forgotten some of the details. I am pretty...
Well done Robert. And to think I knew you when (when I sat on the other side of the wall and heard you making gentle suggestions to RxCalc users). Although being in the hall of fame doesn't give...
Hi Dave,
I did not write the original SGX software, but I have poked around in the code rather a lot. I don't recall any foam lap recut feature. But, it is possible that someone at your lab setup...
That is a pretty good summary of the Step One. Although, it can block decentered or on geometric center, with geometric center being a lot more common. The communication interface predates the Vision...
Try Edmund Optics. Not sure they have the range you need, but they have a pretty good variety.

I believe they are both owned by Buchmann Optical.
A drink? Well, I guess this means you have reached the legal drinking age.
Congratulations Robert. Enjoy responsibly.

Braheem is correct - you want to go to the next steeper block if the correct block is not available. You can tolerate having a bit more of the blocking material under the center of the lens, but you...
Well, that's a step in the right direction. If there is enough force at the edge of the blank to cause flexing around the block ring, the seal with the freebond can start to break. They can refer to...
Accelerated cooling of the blocks is probably not a great idea. FreeBond shrinks somewhat while cooling so it is best if it cools uniformly. Otherwise you can get separation from the lens at the ring...
Disclaimer - I've never used this edger and my German is pretty rusty.
It looks like this message is reporting that the machine is unable to detect the zero pulse for one of its axes. That implies...
The Step One has a Low Pressure setting that is used to pulse the FreeBond after the Fill button is released. This results in low pressure being applied to prevent the FreeBond from running back into...
I noticed this many years ago when writing software for the StepOne Blocker (I work for Gerber). At the time it wasn't a welcome observation. We got a batch of LCDs from a new vendor and suddenly we...
I think the article is referring to flexible spending accounts not insurance. The flexible spending account is money that is taken out of a person's paycheck pre-tax. On using anything that can be...
The lens not detected error can be avoided if you disable the auto fill mode. Of course that means you have to go back to holding the fill button and releasing it when the block is filled, but it...
