Test Order Message - Q/P/O Elecsys® 2010 - Host Interface

2. Test Order Message - Q/P/O

Purpose to use this message:

Instrument Query — Host Answer

Purpose Host InstrumentQuery after reading sample bar-code(in case that Host answers positively)(Query Test order for specimens that have no Test order.)

L-11, L-21(M-2)

I-1(M-1)

Query after reading sample bar-code(in case that Host answers negatively)(Query Test order for specimens that have no Test order.)

L-11, L-22(M-2)

I-1(M-1)

Event: Sample rotor scanningà The instrument queries for test requisitions for each sample that has no testrequisitions using 1 message/ 1 sample.Host must answer these queries for each sample by a certain time while systembegins to make schedule for the sample.Even if the Host answers these queries after the certain time out limit, the instrumentaccepts these responses. In this case, the instrument regards these responses asbatch download. (ignores these responses as answers to previous queries)

Host Query — Instrument Answer

Purpose Host InstrumentQuery for Information of Test order(in case that Instrument answers positively)(Answer Information of Test Order that were requested fromHost.)

L-1(M-1)

I-11, I-21(M-2)

Query for Information of Test order(in case that Instrument answers negatively)(Answer negatively when there is no Information of TestOrder that were requested from Host.)

L-1(M-1)

I-11, I-22(M-2)

Event: The instrument receives a Test Order Message Query.à The instrument answers the query. (positively or negatively).Host queries for test selection information for a sample.(or for some samples).The instrument always answers 1 message/1 sample even if Host queries for testselection information for some samples using one message.

Host Download

Purpose Host InstrumentOrdering of tests and canceling of tests(Order tests for specimens and cancel the tests.)

L-11, L-23(M-2)

Event: The instrument receives a Test Order Message.à The instrument acts as following.

- new registration for unknown sample.- overwriting known sample.

Host downloads a Test Order Message for one sample.(or for some samples)

*1) N: Instrument replaces the existing test order information to a new test order informationbelonging to this specimen.

A: Instrument adds this new test order information to the existing test order informationbelonging to this specimen.Note: The behavior here now is adopted to the original ASTM standard specifications.

C: Instrument deletes this specimen from data base.

*2) In case of a registration update (no new registration, sample is already in the data base) it isimpossible to change the priority.(Example: Host is not allowed to change a sample from Routine to STAT or vice versa.)

[NOTES]

1. It is impossible to download test selections for a new „CONTROL“ sample (For aCONTROL sample it is only possible to download test selections when it is alreadyregistered.)

2. In case that the Host answers with a test selection for an outstanding query, it is necessaryto set the same Sequence No and Sample ID as the instrument asked for in the QueryMessage. If these data (Sequence No and Sample ID) are not same as asked for from theinstrument, the instrument ignores this message as the answer to the Query and continueswaiting for the correct answer from Host.

In case no Sample ID was sent from the instrument („specimen ID“ field is empty), the Hostcan set the correct Sample ID in the answering Test Order Message. Also in this case, it isnecessary to answer with the same Sequence No as the instrument queried for.

3. The instrument registers test selections from Host as follows.

3. Result Message - Q/P/O/R/C/RR/RC

Purpose to use this message:

Host Query — Instrument Answer

Purpose Host InstrumentQuery for Information of Result (Final Result)(in case that Instrument answers positively)(Answer Information of Result that were requested fromHost.)

L-1(M-1)

I-1, I-11I-21, I-31

(M-2)

Query for Information of Result (Edited or Normal Result)(in case that Instrument answers positively)(Answer Information of Result that were requested fromHost.)

L-2(M-1)

I-1, I-11I-21, I-31

(M-2)

Query for Information of Result(in case that Instrument answers negatively)(Answer negatively in case that all results of this specimenhave not been calculated yet.)

L-1(M-1)

I-1, I-12(M-3)

Event: The instrument receives a Result Message Query.à The instrument answers to the query.Host queries for result information for one sample.(or for some samples)The instrument always answers with 1 message/1 sample even if Host queries forresult information for some samples using one message.

Instrument à Host Upload

Purpose Host InstrumentUpload after all results of this specimen are calculatedUpload after pressing <DOC> key on Results screen.(Upload Information of Result of this specimen.)

I-1, I-13I-22, I-31I-41, I-51

(M-4)Upload after Instrument Power on.(Upload Information of Result of this specimen.)

I-1, I-13I-22, I-31

(M-2)L-*, I-*: refer to "Details of Records"M-*: refer to "Construction of Message"

Event: a) Automatic output of all the test results is generated (including ‘No Value”results)à The instrument uploads a Result Message for this sample.Normal samples and Control samples are applied.This is done in automatic upload mode.

b) Pressing <DOC> key on the Results Screen.à The instrument uploads a Result Message for the sample that is displayed on thecurrent screen.This is done even if all the test results are not yet generated.

c) Turn on the power switch of the instrument.à The instrument uploads messages for undocumented results of samples.The instrument uploads 1 message/1 sample.

Purpose to use this message:

Upload Instrument à Host

Purpose Host InstrumentUpload after completion of scanning of the Bar-code Card.(Upload information of Bar-code Card.)

I-1, I-11(M-1)

Event: Scan bar-code card of a calibrator.à The instrument uploads a Calibrator Parameters Message for the bar-code card.The instrument uploads 1 message/1 calibrator bar-code card.

Host Query — Instrument Answer

Purpose Host InstrumentQuery for information of Calibrator Parameters(Answer information of Calibrator Parameters that wererequested from Host.)

L-1, L-11(M-2)

I-1, I-11(M-1)

Event: The instrument receives a Calibrator Parameters Message Query.-----> The instrument answers to the query.The Host queries for Calibrator Parameters information for one test (or some test).The instrument always answers with 1 message/1 test.

Download Host à Instrument

Purpose Host InstrumentDownload Information of Calibrator Parameters(Download only target value of each Calibrator Parameters.)(If an instrument has never seen the Calibrator Parametersbefore, the downloading becomes invalid.)

L-2, L-12(M-2)

L-*, I-*: refer to "Details of Records"M-*: refer to "Construction of Message"

Event: The instrument receives a Calibrator Parameters Message.à The instrument overwrites information of the calibrator parameter.The Host downloads 1 message/1 test (or 1 message/ some tests).If the calibrator parameters that were sent from Host are data that the instrument doesnot know, then this data is not valid (will be ignored).
