  • Page 18: Astm Communication Protocol

    411 analyzer ASTM communication protocol The cobas e 411 analyzer employs ASTM communication protocol. Communication data structure ASTM communication protocol consists of three layered data structure such as message, record, and frame. Data is communicated by message. Further, data is communicated by frame actually.

  • Page 19: Frame Structure

    411 analyzer Frame structure Frame structure is shown below. Middle frame, when a message is divided into more than one frame. [STX] text [ETB] [CR] [LF] When the last frame in a message or a frame is a single frame.

  • Page 21: Definition Of Communication Protocol

    Number of sender or receiver is one at a time. Without ongoing communication the cobas e 411 analyzer and the HOST are waiting in idle state. When a message is sent from one side and the presentation layer requires the data link layer to send record, one side changes its status from idle to sender.
  • Page 22 [ACK]. when the receiver is busy. The sender waits for a certain length of time, e.g., the cobas e 411 analyzer waits for 10 seconds, and tries to establish with another [ENQ]. The cobas e 411 analyzer repeats this cycle until the number of retries after error reaches six.

  • Page 24: Transfer Phase

    411 analyzer continues to send frames. HOST sends characters other The cobas e 411 analyzer repeatedly sends the frame. This cycle is than [ACK] repeated until the number of retry in case of error reaches six. At this moment, the cobas e 411 analyzer starts Termination Phase and displays an error message by sending [EOT].

  • Page 25: Termination Phase

    411 analyzer Termination Phase Both sender and receiver change their status into idle in Termination Phase. This Phase only starts when the sender sends [EOT]. Response from the receiver to this message is none. When [EOT] is detected at the receiver, it changes to idle and the line is required to be changed to neutral.
