(9) Data Transfer
This chapter describes how to move tests from an older Humphrey Field Analyzer model (either the
HFA II or an HFA II-i) to an HFA3 in local database mode. Transfer data by using the instrument’s
network connection, a USB device, or by connecting a serial cable to the Data Transfer ports of two
HFA instruments. Serial connections can be: HW COM port, COM-USB adapter or COM-Network
adapter. The HFA3 is able to combine HFA II, HFA II-i and HFA3 data to create reports.
To transfer data from an HFA II or HFA II-i to the FORUM server see the

name field for patient records. To generate a report using patient
data on the HFA3, you must change the patient record to include a
separate first and last name. See
