General Specifications
In addition, avoid any address in which all bits outside the subnet mask are
“1.” For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and address of the
form X.X.X.255. The RFC 950 defines these as broadcast addresses that
refer to every host on a local network so they should not be assigned to an
individual host.
Two bi-colored LEDs (light emitting diodes) are built into the port allowing
the user to monitor the port status.
page 1 - 4
2 Data Flow
The section contains the conventions used for the data exchanged
between a host computer or LIS and the CLINITEK Advantus analyzer.
Transmission Specifications
Transmission specifications include:
• Character structure
• Electrical characteristics
• Interface connections
• Signal levels
• Speed
Character Structure
Electrical Characteristics
The voltage and impedance levels for the generator and receiver circuits
conform to the EIA-232-D-1986 standard.
page 2 - 1
Data Flow
Interface Connections
The CLINITEK Advantus analyzer supports the connector requirements of
ANSI standard E1381-91.
Signal Levels
For the data interchange circuits, a marking condition corresponds to a
voltage more negative than minus three volts with respect to signal
ground at the interface point. A spacing condition corresponds to a voltage
more positive than plus three volts with respect to signal ground at the
interface point.
Binary state ONE (1) corresponds to the marking condition; binary state
ZERO (0) corresponds to the spacing condition.
The signal levels conform to the EIA-232-D-1986 standard.
Speed
The default data transmission rate is 9600 baud. The data transmission
rates supported are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200.
Data Characters
The control characters that the computer sends to the analyzer to manage
the data flow are shown in Table 2-1.
Note Depending on the analyzer configuration, the computer uses either
the <ENQ> or the <BEL> character to initiate the request for identification.
page 2 - 2
Data Flow
The characters that the analyzer and computer use to communicate data
sets are shown in Table 2-2.
page 2 - 3
Data Flow
Transfer Phase
During the transfer phase, the sender transmits messages to the receiver.
The transfer phase continues until all the messages have been sent.
page 2 - 4
Data Flow
Frames
Each message is sent in a series of frames. A frame is a pre-defined
subdivision of a message used to provide for periodic communication
housekeeping such as error checks and acknowledgments. Each frame
contains a maximum of 247 characters (including frame overhead).
Messages longer than 240 characters are divided between two or more
frames. Both the sender and receiver must be able to buffer one complete
frame (247 characters).
Multiple messages are never combined in a single frame. Every message
must begin in a new frame. Records are never split across frames.
A frame is one of two types, an intermediate frame or an end frame.
Intermediate frames terminate with the characters <ETB>, checksum, <CR>
and <LF>. End frames terminate with the characters <ETX>, checksum,
<CR> and <LF>. Messages less than 240 characters may be sent in one end
frame. Longer messages are sent in intermediate frames with the last part
of the message sent in an end frame.
The frame structure is as follows:
<STX> FN text <ETB> C1 C2 <CR> <LF> <-- intermediate frame
.
.
<STX> FN text <ETX> C1 C2 <CR> <LF> <-- end frame
where:
<STX> Start of Text transmission control character
FN single digit Frame Number 0 to 7
text Data Content of Message
<ETB> End of Transmission Block transmission control
character
<ETX> End of Text transmission control character
C1 most significant character of checksum 0 to 9 and A to
F
C2 least significant character of checksum 0 to 9 and A to
F
<CR> Carriage Return ASCII character
<LF> Line Feed ASCII character
page 2 - 5
Data Flow
Frame Number
The frame number allows the receiver to distinguish between new and
retransmitted frames. It is a single digit sent immediately after the <STX>
character.
The frame number is an ASCII digit ranging from 0 to 7. The frame number
begins at 1 with the first frame of the Transfer phase. The frame number is
incremented by one for every new frame transmitted. After 7, the frame
number rolls over to 0, and continues in this fashion.
Checksum
The checksum permits the receiver to detect a defective frame. The
checksum is encoded as two characters which are sent after the <ETB> or
<ETX> character. The checksum is computed by adding the binary values of
the characters, keeping the least significant eight bits of the sum.
The checksum is initialized to zero with the <STX> character. The first
character used in computing the checksum is the frame number. Each
character in the message text is added to the checksum (modulo 256). The
computation for the checksum does not include <STX>, the checksum
characters, or the trailing <CR> and <LF>.
The checksum is an integer represented by eight bits, it can be considered
as two groups of four bits. The groups of four bits are converted to the
ASCII characters of the hexadecimal representation. The two ASCII
characters are transmitted as the checksum, with the most significant
character first.
For example, a checksum of 122 can be represented as 01111010 in binary
or 7A in hexadecimal. The checksum is transmitted as the ASCII character 7
followed by the character A.
Acknowledgments
The sender sends one frame at a time. After a frame is sent, the sender
stops transmitting until a reply is received. When the sender has
transmitted the last character of a frame, it sets a timer. The receiver must
reply to each frame sent within 15 seconds. If the sender has not received
an <ACK>, a <NAK>, or an <EOT> in response to the frame sent within the
15-second time period, the sender enters the termination phase of the
communication session by sending an <EOT>.
A reply of <ACK> from the receiver signifies the frame was received
successfully and the receiver is prepared to receive another frame. The
sender then increments the frame number and sends the next frame or
terminates the communication session.
page 2 - 6
Data Flow
A reply of <NAK> from the receiver signifies the frame was not successfully
received and the receiver is prepared to receive the frame again. Upon
receiving a <NAK> in response to a frame, the sender increments a
retransmit counter and retransmits the frame. If this counter shows a
single frame was sent and not accepted six times, the sender stops
attempting to send the frame and proceeds to the termination phase of the
communication session by sending an <EOT>.
A reply of <EOT> from the receiver tells the sender the frame was received
successfully but does not want to continue the communication session. It
is a request to the sender to stop transmitting. After receiving the receiver
interrupt request, the sender sends the Message Terminator record and
ends the communication session.
During the transfer phase, if the receiver responds to a frame with an
<EOT> in place of the usual <ACK>, the sender interprets this reply as a
receiver interrupt request. The <EOT> is a positive acknowledgment of the
end frame and also a request to the sender to stop transmitting.
The sender then enters the termination phase to return the data link to the
neutral state. This gives the receiver an opportunity to enter the
establishment phase and become the sender. The original sender must not
enter the establishment phase for at least 15 seconds or until the receiver
has sent a message and returned the data link to the neutral state.
If the receiver requests the sender to stop transmitting results before all
the result records have been sent and acknowledged for a patient, all the
results for that patient must be retransmitted the next time results are
sent. If the receiver requests the sender to stop transmitting results after
the last result is sent for a patient, the next result transmission begins with
the next patient record.
page 2 - 7
Data Flow
Error Handling
A receiver checks every frame to guarantee it is valid. A reply of <NAK> is
transmitted for invalid frames. Upon receiving the <NAK>, the sender must
retransmit the last frame with the same frame number.
Any characters occurring before the <STX> or after the end of the block
character (the <ETB> or <ETX>) are ignored by the receiver when checking
the frame.
The receiver should reject a frame when:
• A character error is detected (parity error, framing error, etc.)
• The frame checksum sent does not match the checksum computed on
the received frame
• The frame number is not the same as the frame number for a
previously rejected frame or the frame number is not one higher than
the last accepted frame (modulo 8).
Upon receiving a <NAK>, the sender increments a retransmit counter and
retransmits the frame. If the retransmit counter shows a single frame was
sent and not accepted six times, the sender must abort the message by
proceeding to the termination phase.
Timeouts
Both sender and receiver use timers to detect loss of coordination between
them. The timer provides a method for recovery if the communication line
or the other device fails to respond.
page 2 - 8
Data Flow
Message Structure
This section describes the supported message types, the structure of those
message types and their supporting records. Each message consists of a
hierarchy of records of various types.
The following rules apply when the analyzer is processing a message:
• The laboratory computer system may ignore any field it does not
require.
• All fields in a record are always transferred.
• The fields are always transferred in the positional order specified.
• All fields in records are variable length fields.

Output Data
The transmission of test results data from the CLINITEK 200+ instrument
can be controlled by either the instrument or by the interfaced laboratory
information system (LIS). If the Handshake option is set to ON, the
communication protocol uses software handshaking and the LIS controls
the transmission of data. If the Handshake option is set to OFF, the
communication protocol does not use software handshaking and the
instrument controls the transmission of data.
Data transmission from the instrument can be suspended by a connected
LIS in one of two ways:
• The Handshake option can be set to ON and the hardware handshake
line can be used to stop data flow.
• An XOFF character (<DC3>) can be sent to the instrument to stop data
flow. Data flow does not resume until an XON character (<DC1> or
<DC2>) is sent.
page D - 1
CLINITEK 200/200+ Emulation Mode
The CLINITEK 200+ instrument always supports the receipt of the control
characters shown in Table D-2 regardless of the setting for the Handshake
option.
When the Handshake option is set to ON, the CLINITEK 200+ instrument
supports the output control characters shown in Table D-2 .

Steps:
1. Determine the ASCII decimal value of each character (including the
SPACE character) between but not including the <STX> and <ETX>
control character.
2. Sum the ASCII values. (3725)
3. Divide the sum of the ASCII values by 256. Discard the quotient. (3725 /
256 = 14 with remainder of 141)

* Represents the position used for marking a test result as
abnormal for serial output, 80-column printer output, and
form printer output. If Identify Abnormals is set to ON and the
test result can be marked abnormal, an asterisk (*) is placed
in this field. If this position is not used for the abnormal flag, it
is filled with the space character.
< Represents the position used for marking a test result as
abnormal for internal printer output. If Identify Abnormals is
set to ON and the test result can be marked abnormal, a block
character () is placed in this field. If this position is not used
for the abnormal flag, it is filled with the space character.
Ck1Ck2 Represents the checksum digits of the test results packet.
<CR> Carriage Return control character
<LF> Line Feed control character
<ETX> End of Text control character
<STX> Start of Text control character
A Represents the Sequence Number assigned to the test result.
B Represents the date in the user-selected format. Valid formats
are MM-DD-YY, DD-MM-YY, and YY-MM-DD.
C Represents the Specimen ID. The Specimen ID field can
contain a maximum of 13 characters. Character positions not
used are filled with the space character. The field is left
justified.
D Represents the color of the specimen. The translation for the
word Color plus a colon and a space character plus the actual
color value always equals 20 characters. Character positions
not used are filled with the space character. The field is left
justified.
