Figure A-2: Transmission Procedure

4) Transmission ErrorIf an error is detected, the transmission is interrupted and the error message is displayed onthe IPU. The operator must recover the error. Cases of errors are as follows.• Control signal "DSR" is OFF.

• After the data transmission, there is no response from the computer in 15 seconds. (ClassB only)

• "NAK" is sent back after transmitting three times. (Class B only)

5) Transmission TimingSelection between the transmission for every analysis cycle and the batch transmission ofstored data is possible by the IPU settings. The data transmission interval can be set (fromzero second) also.

6) Transmission IntervalThe transmission interval of sample data can be set on the IPU. The interval is a time periodafter the ACK/NAK response until the next data transmission in the case of class B.

2. Data Format

The output to host computer consists of sample data and QC data, and they differ in length andcontent of the text. (They are classified by the sample class codes.)

• Output of analysis results is the text data only, and the text class I is always "D."

• The text distinction II is usually "1." But when the text length is 255 bytes or more, the textis divided into two or more for transmission, and the text block order is expressed by thenumeral of the text distinction II. (ETB code is not used.)

• Sample distinction code is "U" in the case of sample data, and is "C" in the case of QC data.

• The QC data is output in the QC format. This data can be output by the cursor rangedesignation in the QC menu of the IPU.

NOTE: • XE-2100 corresponds to two types of host format. As a default, the format Ais installed. If you wish to change the format from A to B, contact your Sysmexservice representative.

2. COMMUNICATION SPECIFICATIONS OF ANALYSISINFORMATION WITH HOST COMPUTER

2.1 Outline

XE-2100 has a function to load analysis information (analysis order information and patientinformation) from the host computer, and perform the analysis automatically according to theinformation.

1. Analysis Information Inquiry Method

XE-2100 has the following two inquiry methods.

(1) Real-time inquiry is performed just before an analysis, using the sample ID number, asa key word, read from the bar code label attached to a sample tube.

(2) Batch inquiry is performed before an analysis by specifying a rack number. The keywords in this case are the rack number and the tube position.

2. Sample Information Inquiry SettingKey: Sample ID Rack No./Tube Pos.Real-time Inquiry (Manual Mode): [Sample ID]Real-time Inquiry (Sampler Mode): [Key]



2.2 Hardware

The bit serial voltage type, which conforms to the RS-232C interface, is used for host computeroutput of XE-2100. The serial interface port for the connection with the host computer is on therear panel of the IPU.

1. Connector• Connect to the host computer output connector on the rear panel of the IPU.• Use a 9-pin, D-SUB female connector.• Pitch of connector fixing screws adopts the size in inch.

3) Transmission ProcedureThe transmission method is class B (fixed). Make sure to set it class B. If the class A is set,correct communication is not possible. The procedure to make inquiry on analysisinformation from XE-2100 to the host computer is as follows:• Analysis information inquiry text is sent from XE-2100.• The host computer returns NAK if an error occurs with the data reception, and returns

ACK when there is no error, and then send the analysis information corresponding to theinquiry.

• In the case of NAK, XE-2100 resends the analysis information inquiry text. In the case ofACK, after receiving the analysis information text, XE-2100 sends ACK when there is noerror with the received data, or sends NAK if there is an error.

• The host computer closes the communication for one set of analysis information when thereturned response is ACK, or resends the analysis parameter text if the response is NAK.

Sends NAK if there is an error.or ACK when there is no error.Sends sample information text for the inquired samples.(Resends if NAK.)(Resends up to 3 times.)

ACK: 06H, NAK: 15H

Sends sample information inquiry text.

(Resends if NAK.)(Resends up to 3 times.)

Sends NAK if there is an error.or ACK when there is no error.

Figure A-4: Transmission Procedure



4) Transmission ErrorIf a transmission error is detected, the transmission is interrupted and the error message isdisplayed on the IPU. The operator must recover the error. Cases of errors are as follows.• Control signal "DSR" is OFF.• After the data transmission, there is no response from the computer within 15 seconds.• "NAK" is sent back after transmitting three times.

5) Inquiry Timing• Real-time inquiry by sample ID number

At the time when a sample ID number is read from the bar code attached to the tube, theinquiry is performed. If XE-2100 already has the analysis information, the inquiry is notperformed. After sending out the analysis information inquiry text, wait while receivingACK and receiving the analysis information text, then blood is absorbed after that.

• Batch inquiry by rack number and tube positionAt the time when a rack number is specified by the IPU program of XE-2100, the inquiry ismade for the tube positions from 1 through 10 for the specified rack. There is not time limitto receive the analysis information text after sending the analysis information inquiry text.

6) Transmission IntervalThe transmission interval from receiving analysis information text from the host computerand sending out ACK until the next sending of analysis information inquiry text, can be setby the IPU program of XE-2100. This transmission interval is common with that of analysisdata.

7) Note on Analysis Data Automatic OutputWhen the analysis data is set to be output automatically by XE-2100, the communication ofanalysis information and the output of analysis data may be performed alternately. In thiscase when two different types of information are handled simultaneously, the response of thehost computer may become slower. Therefore, set the instrument to make the batch output,not the automatic output to avoid slow response of the host computer.

2. Text Format

There are text formats for "Analysis information inquiry" and "Analysis information" regardingthe communication of analysis information between XE-2100 and the host computer. And theseare identified by Text Distinction Code I.• The Text Distinction Code I of the "Analysis information inquiry" sent from XE-2100 to the

host computer is always "R."• The Text Distinction Code I of the "Analysis information" sent from the host computer to XE-

2100 is always "S."

8. Check Digit

To improve the reliability of an ID No. read, check digit(s) can be added.Taking the Sample ID No. of "258416" as an example, let us explain how to calculate the checkdigit for modulus 11 and weighted modulus 11.

1) Modulus 11

(1) Each digit is weighted. The weight corresponding to each digit is as follow.

Digit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Weight 6 5 4 3 2 1 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

(2) Add up the multiplied results as given below:S = 14 + 30 + 40 + 16 + 3 + 12 = 115

(3) When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement of theremainder. This complement will be the check digit.115/11= 10 with remainder 511 - 5 = 6, thus the check digit is 6.However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in makingcalculation. Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation ofthe check digit results in 10, zero is entered as the check digit.

2) Weighted Modulus 11Weighted modulus 11 has two sets of weight. When the check digit is computed to 10 as aresult of applying the first weight set, the second weight set is applied. The result shouldalways be one of the 0 to 9 values. Calculation method is entirely the same as modulus 11except for difference in weighting.

(1) Weighing Each Digit

Weight: W12 W11 W10 W9 W8 W7 W6 W5 W4 W3 W2 W1First Set: 6 3 5 9 10 7 8 4 5 3 6 2Second Set: 5 8 6 2 10 4 3 7 6 8 5 9

2 5 8 4 1 6X X X X X X8 4 5 3 6 2

Weight 16 20 40 12 6 12

(2) Add up the multiplied results as given below:S = 16 + 20 + 40 + 12 + 6 + 12 = 106



(3) When the S is divided by 11, calculate the remainder and obtain the complement of theremainder. This complement will be the check digit.106/11= 9 with remainder 711 - 7 = 4, thus the check digit is 4.However, all English symbols except the numerals of 0 - 9 are regarded as 0 in makingcalculation. Also, when S is divisible by 11 with remainder 0 and when calculation ofthe check digit results in 0, zero is entered as the check digit.

NOTE: • For Weighted Modulus 11, weight for the 13th, 14th and 15th digits areassumed 0.
