method that enables intercommunication between Laboratory Host System,
hereinafter referred to as HOST, and the cobas e 411 analyzer. Specification and

As cobas e 411 analyzer is a successor version of the Elecsys 2010 analyzer, it
upholds Elecsys 2010 analyzer HOST communication protocol. Further, a new
communication protocol is added to keep compatibility with cobas® analyzers.
These two (2) communication protocols such as Elecsys type and cobas type are
selectable. MSRs (Manufacturer Specific Records) that are the original protocol
of Elecsys 2010 analyzer are not supported by cobas e 411 analyzer.
In case of communication problems between a host and the cobas e 411
analyzer please copy the trace file d:\e411\data\log\host_trace.log onto a
removable media and contact the Customer Support Center at 1-800-428-2336.
