TECHNICAL INFORMATION, Serial Interface
Sysmex SF-3000 Operator's Manual -- Revised September 1995 C-7
NOTE: Error (c) or (d) occurs only when the Class B is utilized.
HC flashes when error (a) or (b) occurs and HC flashes in
reverse video when error (c) or (d) occurs.
(3) Interval Time -- Time interval between two data transmitted from the host
computer can be selected with the setting program. This setting is commonly
used for the data transmission to and from the host computer. The interval
time means the period after the SF-3000 received the order information from
the host computer and transmitting the response of ACK/NAK to the host
computer until the SF-3000 receives transmission of the next sample data in
the Class B.
6. Order Inquiry Procedure (for Closed Mode Only)
One procedure is prepared to inquire the order information.
Inquiry by Tube Position
The SF-3000 inquires, the order information, of the host computer using the
Tube Position No. 1 through 10 as soon as the Rack No. is entered in "Work
List" - "Download List" - "From HC" program (batch inquiry). In this case,
the key words will be Rack No. and Tube Position No., and the system
analyzes the sample according to the order by position information (Rack
No., Tube Pos. No.). There is no time limit for the SF-3000 to receive the
order information after transmitting the inquiry to the host computer.
NOTE: When "Auto Output" of the analysis data is setup, there is a
possibility that the host computer may not be fast enough to receive
the sample data and transmit back the order information before the
SF-3000 outputs more data. If this occurs it is recommended that
you perform these steps separately.
