H-FLAGS / L-FLAGS: Bitmap with 8-bit of the sample errors,
represented in HEX-ASCII. The following
table illustrates the errors:
Bit
Error
Description
0
Sample High
Blood column too high
1
Sample Low
Blood column too low
2
Sample Absent
Tube Empty
3
Abnormal
Error in acquisition of height
4
QC PASS
The VES of the QC measured is within the
acceptability range
5
QC FAIL
The VES of the QC measured is outside the
acceptability range
6-7
-
Reserved
EXAMPLES:
- In the case of a “Sample High” error the Bit 0 (least significant) will be set
to one and all the others to zero, therefore the byte of the Flags will have a 0x01
hexadecimal value and its HEX-ASCII representation will be 0x30 / 0x31.
- In the case of a “QC Fail” error the Bit 5 will be set to one and all the
others to zero, therefore the byte of the Flags will have a 0x20 hexadecimal value
and its HEX-ASCII representation will be 0x32 / 0x30.
RACK ID: string of 4 characters without terminator, identifies the
classifier rack in which the sample has been repositioned.
POSITION: string of 2 characters without terminator, identifies the
coordinates of the position in which the sample has been
repositioned in the Classifier rack.
ATTENTION: for debugging purposes it is possible to disable the checksum
control, replacing the H-COM bytes with the value of 0x44 instead of 0x35. In this
case the two bytes of the checksum are still sent but their value will be
insignificant. The Host computer must also manage any possible cases in which
the checksum is disabled.
