Tips on an Octopus 123

OK, this may be a long shot, but does anyone else have or has had an older Octopus 123? I am trying to get some info on plotting a ptosis visual fields. I have looked all through our manual with no luck and have called the company we bought it from and discovered that the original company has been bought out by another who doesn't know anything about this particular model.
Not everyday do we need to plot a ptosis fields, but I do know there is a code for this test. However, it has been so long since we did it that nobody seems to remember what it is!

Thanks all!

Do you have the Model 100 or 101?

Thank you for your reply! It looks like 101.

The 101 doesn't have specific programmed fields for ptosis. The usual approach is to test with the regular screening field because you really want the extent of the field rather than any specific lack of sensitivity within that field.
