Again we had many small changes and improvements. These are the most important.
Oculus Twinfield-3 connected: The new version of the Twinfield perimeter (mark 3) has a different data structure. PeriData has integrated the new device into the device list.
FREY Perimeter, TOMEY Perimeter, Rodenstock2-Perimeter: The data connection with the perimeters Frey AP-600/600L, Tomey AP-3500/4000 and Rodenstock Perimat2/Peristat2 has been completed after intensive work. The examinations are sent to PeriData and are shown on the screen with all PeriData features, for example Progression Trend together with examinations from other instruments.
Backup Routine: There is a new backup routine that stores all newly imported data additionally into a monthly database. The directory is defined in the options (settings). The files are named "PeridataBackup-Import-2026-03.phf", e.g. for March 2026. more
Finishing the programme made easier: There is now a button for closing the program, which is larger than the small cross in the corner of the window. PeriData can also be closed by repeatedly pressing the ESC key
Optimize window position: There is now a function and a button that optimizes the size and position of the programme window. This improves the visibility of the HELP window and other windows.
Unassigned examinations (Link Mode): During import (data receive) examinations of "other" patients are directed into the "Reserve" database. When started from the medical record software, PeriData searches automatically in the Reserve database for unassigned examinations, whose name matches the current patient. When a match is found, the visual fields are moved to the patient database (with confirmation). The new "Move" button can also be used for manual selection of matching examinations.
Settings Report: The current Options settings are saved to a textfile and can be printed. This is useful when computers are replaced or when support by our PeriData hotline is needed.
Configuration Assistant: After a new installation, this very useful assistant will start and help to make the basic settings for different installation types. It can be started also later in the menu Info&Help.
Message windows improved: All message windows have a print button in the upper right corner. This will store and open a text file, which can be printed or sent to the PeriData support. Minor important message windows are closing after some seconds and do not have to be confirmed any more. Some messages can be finished with ESC.
Search Button (Standard Mode): The main toolbar got a button for searching in the database which is active permanently in the standard mode. The function is equal to the key combination CTRL+F. This is not needed in the LinkMode, the button is inactive in this mode.
Search function can "find next": The search window now has the "find next" button. The next match is indicated, the window remains open. This is useful if you do not know the exact name (e.g. "Miller", first name unknown). When the search window has been closed again, the F3 key still works
Toolbar renewed: Some buttons have new colors for better recognition. The order has slightly changed.
Show visual fields immediately after data import: If the option "Show data import at once" is set (Menu Extra > Options), the visual field windows will open immediately after data import.
Window sizes and position improved: The database windows are optimized in size and position. The Help window is optimized in size and docked to the side of the program window, if there is enough space. This solves the problem of the Help window being hidden or too small.
Options: The windows for the program settings (options) are newly arranged and reduced from 6 to 3 tabs. The favorite image type is defined only inside the visual field windows with the star button.
Data errors - documentation improved: Error messages during data transmission are now documented in greater detail. This enables our hotline support team to identify the cause more easily and find solutions more quickly.
