Output of Boot Error
Boot error is output to the console and the buzzer for small-size automatic analyzer (beeper is
used). Output is issued unconditionally to the console whenever connected. For the small-size
automatic analyzer, on the other hand, either of the destinations shown below is selected
depending on system. For selection method, refer to (3).
(1) Output to Console
Output to the console always uses a log message. This is because output cannot be
issued in the EAT format within a period from system start to EAT task start. Upon output,
a message is sent out line by line by scroll-up method as in the logging message of
VxWorks. Note that a line is fed before and after a message.
Output format is shown below. For contents of output, refer to (4).
(2) Buzzer Output for Small-Size Automatic Analyzer
The kinds of output are the same as the three kinds in the small-size immunological
system. Each output has a distinctive tone at the frequency indicated below.
1) Self Test Error : 50 Hz
2) Loading Error : 250 Hz
3) OS Initial Error : 1 Hz
Sounding : Continuous
(3) Distinction in Error Message Output
For distinction in error output of small-size automatic analyzer, the configuration register of
a flash memory is used.
