H-VALMIN / L-VALMIN: Value lower than the acceptability range
for the control blood, represented in HEX-
ASCII.
H-VALMAX / L-VALMAX: Value higher than the acceptability range
for the control blood, represented in HEX-
ASCII.

BARCODE: ASCII string with variable length, maximum of 15 characters
allowed. This is the barcode just as it is read by the Mini
Cube Barcode Reader.
TERMINATOR: the string of barcodes terminates with the 0x10 byte. This
is because the length of this string is variable.
DATA ANALYSES: string of 6 characters without terminator,
“DDMMYY” where:
“DD” = day of the month, from “01” to “31” ASCII.
“MM” = Month of the year, from “01” to “12” ASCII.
“YY” = Year of the century, from “00” to “99” ASCII.
TIME ANALYSES : string of 4 characters without terminator,
“hhmm” where:
“hh” = hour of the day, from “00” to “23” ASCII.
“mm” = Minutes, from “00” to “59” ASCII.
VES: Value of the VES measured on the QC sample, ASCII string
without terminator:
from “ 0” (3 spaces + ‘0’) transmitted in the case of an error,
to “ 140” (1 space + “140”). If the result is higher than 140 the
string will be “>140”
