USB Port Equipped Model
The USB port in the back of the analyzer is an input dedicated specifically for analyzer software upgrades.
COM 1 is an output port dedicated for printer output using an RS 232 connection. Output to printer may
be turned on or off in the analyzer menu by toggling the option between "Set Printer ON" or "Set Printer
OFF". If output to printer is enabled, the analyzer will prompt the operator to “Insert FastPack In Printer”
each time a test completes.
COM 2 is dedicated for computer output using a standard “straight through” DB9 to DB9 cable connected
to a computer. This would not be a “null modem” type of cable, and this cable may vary depending on the
specific computer connection. Computer output at COM 2 is always on whether or not the port is
connected.
The output data is ASCII text with the following comma delimited fields:
Result Value (numerical or pass/fail for calibrator or controls)
Units
Date
Time
Instrument Serial Number
SW Revisions
Test Type
The communications protocol will be:
Baud Rate 9600
Parity None
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Computer Output Format:
The result is output as ASCII text with the fields delimited by a comma. The output fields are as follows:
Flag denoting sample dilution 1/100 (D), 1/10,000 (X), or WHO tPSA/fPSA result (W)
Calibration does not yield a numeric result, so result field will be “Cal A Pass”, “Cal B Pass”, “Cal A Fail”,
“Cal B Fail”, or “Cal Fail”. Assay Identification for current and future tests are as follows:
Caution:
Care should be taken not to send ASCII text or control characters to the FastPack
Analyzer as it may disrupt operation and/or data transfer.
