Introduction
Subject of documentation
The following documentation describes the communication between a host computer and a
Compact.
The host computer is connected to the Compact computer either serially or by means of the laboratory
network (LAN).
The serial connection is described in this document.
Overview
The hardware is modular. t consists of the Compact PC and the Compact. The following diagram
illustrates the setup with a serial connection.
serial
or
network
Serial connection for host to Compact PC
The host computer is connected to the Compact PC by means of serial port.
Network connection (LAN) host to Compact PC
The host computer is connected to the Compact PC by means of the laboratory network (LAN,
Ethernet). This type of connection is described in a separate document.
Serial communication
There are two different connection types for communication between the PC and the host computer:
unidirectional and bidirectional. Unidirectional enables solely the transmission of measuring results to the
host computer. Bidirectional permits the host computer to request the tests for the samples ready to
be measured. The interface parameters Baud rate, data bits, stop bits and parity can be changed in the
maintenance program.

Unidirectional transfer
The connection between the Compact PC and the host computer appears as follows:
Plasma Prep. / Measurement => Database
The values measured by the Compact are stored in the result database
Database / Results => Host computer

SM_Compact_en_Feb2011_V01_sc
The test results of a given patient or quality control are transmitted to the host computer as they are in the
database.
There are two methods for transmitting results to the host computer:
1. Method: The test results are always immediately transmitted to the host computer and
simultaneously entered in the PC database.
. Method: The test results are frst entered in the database and can be transmitted by the user to
the host computer by means of the menu.
The methods for data transmission are set in the maintenance program under menu item Defne System
Parameter - Validation.
Validation - No Method 1
"Validation" - "Yes" Method
Two different transmission methods can be set in the Maintenance program.
The following two methods are after: 1: each patient
: each patient and each Quality Control

Protocol
When moving data, the following ASC control codes are added: <STX>, <ETX>, <RS>, <GS>.
These codes indicate the beginning and the end of data transmissions, results and error control.
<STX> indicates the beginning of data transmission
<ETX> indicates the end of data transmission
<RS> a data block follows this in ASC code
<GS> a checksum follows this in ASC code
A <CR><LF> is added to each control character and data record.
Example:
<STX><CR><LF>
<RS>[Data record]<CR><LF>
<GS>[Checksum]<CR><LF>
<ETX><CR><LF>
Checksum
The checksum consists of two ASC codes which are transmitted after ASC code <GS>. t is
calculated by adding together the 8-bit binary values of all codes, starting with <RS> and ending with
<GS>.
Example:
<STX><CR><LF>
<RS>PATENT<CR><LF>
<GS>7<CR><LF>
<ETX><CR><LF>
18
SM_Compact_en_Feb2011_V01_sc
The following codes are used for calculating:
<RS>PATENT<CR><LF>

Code 8-bit binary value
<RS> 0001 1110
P 0101 0000

T 0101 0100
<CR> 0000 1101
<LF> 0000 1010
<GS> 0001 1101
8-bit binary value of the checksum: 0110 0111
ASC-Code of the check sum: 7
Record block construction for transmitting test results
The data record has a fixed length. Each data record begins with <RS>, followed by the individual
data which is separated by so-called data delimiters, and ends with <CR><LF>.
This data record for moving test results is constructed as follows:
- <RS> ( 1 Character )
- Thrombo ID ( 20 Characters) optional
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- ID ( 1 Character )
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Prep. No. ( 2 Characters) optional
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- ID No. ( 30 Characters)
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Test ( 2 Characters)
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Calculation type ( 1 Character )
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Single / Double ( 1 Character ) optional
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Error Flag 1 ( 3 Characters) optional
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Error Flag 2 ( 3 Characters)

SM_Compact_en_Feb2011_V01_sc
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Measuring time ( 6 Characters)
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- Measuring value ( 7 Characters)
- Data delimiter ( 1 Character )
- INR value ( 4 Characters)
- <CR><LF> ( 2 Characters)
A vertical stroke, | (ASC code 7C) is used as a data delimiter between the individual data.
- Thrombo D is the name of the Compact as entered in the Maintenance program under Defin
SystemParameter. (f not 0 characters long, fill out with blanks). This field can be transmitted as an
option.
- D indicates the type of data record (1 character long).
- Prep. No. indicates the position of the plasma tube in the sample tray ( characters long). This can
also be set as an option.
- D consists of the patients name or D No. which is filled out with blanks if not 30 characters long.
- Test consists of the number (0-3) of the coagulation test. Enter a blank before all single digit
numbers.
- Calculation type consists of a number corresponding to the type of measuring value calculation. This
field always contains a 0.
- Single / Double indicates whether a test is to be carried out as a single or double determination
(1 character long, the 0 is set for single determination and the 1 for double determination). The
transmission can be set as an option.
- Error flag 1 and error flag transmit a number from the error flag list (the transmission of the error
flag can be selected by maintenance: no error flag, one error flag or both error flags are transmitted).
Each error flag is transmitted with three characters.
Should both error flags be transmitted, the second error flag relates to the measurement repetition.
Should the measurement not be repeated, the second error flag is at 1 (meaning no flag has been
set).
- Measuring time contains the measured coagulation time ( characters long).
- Measuring value consists of the determined measuring value (7 characters long).
- NR value consists of the calculated NR value or entry 0.0 in the event that no NR value is to be
calculated for the test ( characters long).
