2、/01 Mr. Kumada - TM-WP7*No. 2A586-192EU-1SCOPEThese specifications apply to on-line communication between the automated biochemical analyzer TBA-120FR (hereinafter referred to as TBA) and the external data processing unit (hereinafter referred to as HOST). This document includes only the description
3、s related to on-line communication.For the specifications etc. for the TBA, refer to the product specifications and operation manuals for TBA-120FR.The broken line in the figure below shows the boundary of the operating domain.Conection cableTBA HOSTNo. 2A586-192EU-2Definition of termsThe terms used
4、 in this manual are defined below.(1) Sample ID mode, disk ID modeSample ID mode indicates the status in which “Sample ID“ is selected for “Query key“ on the Database page of the System Configuration screen of the TBA. Disk ID mode indicates the status in which “Disk ID“ is selected for “Query key“.
5、(2) Auto Return“Auto Return“ is a setting item on the System Configuration screen of the TBA.If this is not selected, the TBA enters the Pause status as soon as it receives a rerun order. When the pause status is released, the TBA sends an order inquiry and starts measurement. If “Auto Return“ is se
6、lected, the TBA does not enter the Pause status when it receives a rerun order. In this case, therefore, the TBA sends an order inquiry immediately and starts measurement.(3) STAT sampleSTAT sample represents a sample placed at the dedicated STAT (emergency) position and for which an order is made t
7、hrough the STAT screen. STAT sample measurement can be performed at any time by interrupting routine measurement.(4) Sample without barcode labelIn sample ID mode, it is assumed that bar codes are applied to the samples. However, even if a bar code cannot be applied to a sample, measurement can be p
8、erformed by selecting “No Barcode“ for the sample on the Order Sample page of the Database screen. Such samples are referred to as “samples without barcode labels“.(5) Internal mode, Internal/External mode, External modeInternal mode is set when “Database“ is selected for “Query Sequence“ on the Onl
9、ine Configuration screen of TBA. When “Database HOST“ is selected, the system is set to Internal/External mode. When “HOST“ is selected, the system is set to External mode.(6) Sample during runIf any of the records for a sample (including first run, rerun, and replicate) is in the Run status (the co
10、lor of the record is brown), the sample is referred to as a “sample during run“. Normally, a rerun order or additional assay order cannot be made for a sample during run.(7) Measured sampleIf all the records for a sample (including first run, rerun, and replicate) are in the Valid (V), Incomplete (I
11、), or Complete (A) status, the sample is referred as a “measured sample“.The term measured sample does not include samples for which sampling has been completed but the results are not available yet.(8) Acknowledgement (ACK) messageThe ACK message is a response that indicates that a message has been
12、 received. Although it is a response, it is not always a response to a message. The negative acknowledgement (NACK) message indicates that the message has not been received correctly.No. 2A586-192EU-3 *No. 2A586-192E- a -CONTENTSPageSCOPE-U-11.

23、2 -1.2 Interface SpecificationsThe communication conditions are described below.(1) Baud rateSelectable from 1200, 2400, 4800, and 9600 bps.(Factory setting: 9600 bps)(2) Character length8 bits or 7 bits (Factory setting: 8 bits)(When 7 bits is selected, codes exceeding 7fh (80h to ffh) cannot be tr
24、ansmitted.)(3) Parity bitSelectable from even, odd, and no parity (NP). (Factory setting: NP)(4) Stop bit1 bit or 2 bits (Factory setting: 1)(5) Handshaking by DTR-DSREssential. The TBA turns ON the DTR output when it is ready for communication and performs communication only when the DSR input is O
25、N.The HOST must turn ON the DTR output promptly when it is ready for communication and must not perform communication when the DSR input is OFF.The TBA turns OFF the DTR output only when “Offline“ is specified on the TBA.(6) Flow control by RTS-CTSThe CTS input must be ON all the time.The TBA sets t
26、he RTS output to ON unless it is set to off-line.The TBA does not perform transmission when the CTS input is OFF.(7) Transmission method : Half duplex (Performance is not guaranteed for full-duplex transmission.)No. 2A586-192E- 3 -1.3 System OptionsThe system options for online communication are des
27、cribed below.These conditions can be specified on the TBA (Online Configuration screen).(1) Maximum Response Time (s)The entry range is 1 to 99 seconds, in 1-second increments. (Factory setting: 6)This is the time period for which the TBA waits for a response to a message transmitted from the TBA to
28、 the HOST.(2) Max Order Response Time (s)The entry range is 1 to 99 seconds, in 1-second increments. (Factory setting: 6)This is the time period for which the TBA waits for the order message after it has received a response to the order inquiry message it sent.(3) Min Transmission Interval (s)The en
29、try range is 0 to 99 seconds, in 1-second increments. (Factory setting: 0)This is the minimum interval before the TBA transmits the next message or response.TBA HOST Maximu respone timTransmiion esageRespone sageACK/NOrde msageInted transiion timigActual trnsmiion tiig Minmu transmiionitervl axiu or
30、derespontim(4) ACK/NACK without STX/ETXWhether or not STX and ETX are used for the response message can be selected. (Factory setting: Not selected)Selected : STX and ETX are not used in the response message.Not selected : STX and ETX are used in the response message.NOTE: Here, “response message“ r
31、efers to ACK and NACK. The default setting is “Not selected“ (ACK/NACK with STX/ETX).STX and ETX are always used for other normal messages.No. 2A586-192E- 4 -(5) Use check digit (CD)Whether or not the check digit is used for message can be selected. (Factory setting: Not selected)Selected : A check
32、digit is used.Not selected : No check digit is used.When the check digit is set to be used and STX/ETX for response message (described in (4) above) is also set to be used, the check digit is also added to the response message.To add the check digit to the response message (ACK or NACK), STX/ETX for
33、 the response message must be set to be used. If STX/ETX for the response message is not set to be used, the check digit is not added even when the check digit for the message is set to be used.(6) Query SequenceOne of the following three types of query sequences is selected automatically according
34、to the specified protocol type.Database/Host/Database HostDatabase : The TBA searches its internal database for the order for the sample.When no corresponding order is found in the database, the TBA skips measurement for the sample.Host : The TBA sends an order inquiry to the HOST. If the order for
35、the sample is found in the HOST, then the TBA searches the internal database.The TBA performs measurement according to the results of the OR operation between the assays included in the order in the database and the assays included in the order from the HOST.If no corresponding order is found in the
36、 HOST, the TBA skips measurement for the sample.Database Host : The TBA searches the internal database. If no order corresponding to the sample is found in the database, then the TBA sends an order inquiry to the HOST. If the record found in the database includes assays that are not run yet, the TBA
37、 performs measurement for these assays. If no corresponding order is found in the database or the HOST, the TBA skips measurement for the sample.* There are additional conditions for STAT samples or samples without barcode labels. Refer to subsection 3.1 for details.CAUTION: The “Query Sequence“ set
38、ting should not be changed.No. 2A586-192E- 5 -(7) Result Transmission ModeThe method for transmitting the results for patient samples (regular sample, lane sample, STAT sample) or controls can be selected from the following options.Request : Results are transmitted for the samples specified by the operator on the TBA.Auto : Results are transmitted only for valid samples.All Results : Each result, except the calibrator result, is transmitted.(Whether or
