APPENDIX G:
ATOMLAB COMPUTER INTERCONNECTION
The optional RS-232 serial interface board must be
factory installed. If you did not order your system with this
option, disregard this appendix. If you wish to give your dose
calibrator the capability to communicate with a remote per-
sonal computer (and to a printer via the computer) you must
return the unit for installation. Contact the Biodex Customer
Service Department at 1-800-224-6339 for details.
With the serial interface board installed, there will be a 9-pin
male connector in the location labeled PC PORT on the rear
panel of the Display Unit. The Atomlab Dose Calibrator will
continually transmit data to the port, whether a remote PC is
connected or not. Data transmitted is Activity Value, Isotope
Selected, and the Calibration Value for that isotope.
The software to perform this remote communication will
have to be individually tailored for the particular PC you intend
to use. Although Biodex Medical Systems does not carry the
software, we can provide the names of companies that do.
PC PORT COMMUNICATIONS
Starting with Version 5.0 of the Atomlab 100 firmware, the
PC port is bidirectional. Until this release, the PC port was
strictly a transmission port for the calibrator. The calibrators
now recognize the following commands:
