-ON-LINE SPECIFICATIONSFORAUTOMATED BIOCHEMICAL ANALYZERMODEL TBA-120FR(2A586-192E). z.-REVISION RECORDREV.DATE REASONPAGESER.DOC.(MM/YY)/AUTHORCHANGEDNo.PRODUCT.INI.12/01Mr. Kumada-TM-WP7*. z.-SCOPEThese specifications apply to on-line munication between the automated biochemical analyzer TBA-120FR (hereinafter referred to as TBA) and the e*ternal data processing unit (hereinafter referred to as HOST). This document includes only the descriptions related to on-line munication.For the specifications etc. for the TBA, refer to the product specifications and operation manuals for TBA-120FR.The broken line in the figure below shows the boundary of the operating domain.Definition of termsThe terms used in this manual are defined below.(1)Sample ID mode, disk ID modeSample ID mode indicates the status in which Sample ID is selected for Query key on the Database page of the System Configuration screen of the TBA. Disk ID mode indicates the status in which Disk ID is selected for Query key.(2)Auto ReturnAuto Return is a setting item on the System Configuration screen of the TBA.If this is not selected, the TBA enters the Pause status as soon as it receives a rerun order. When the pause status is released, the TBA sends an order inquiry and starts measurement. If Auto Return is selected, the TBA does not enter the Pause status when it receives a rerun order. In this case, therefore, the TBA sends an order inquiry immediately and starts measurement.(3)STAT sampleSTAT sample represents a sample placed at the dedicated STAT (emergency) position and for which an order is made through the STAT screen. STAT sample measurement can be performed at any time by interrupting routine measurement.(4)Sample without barcode labelIn sample ID mode, it is assumed that bar codes are applied to the samples. However, even if a bar code cannot be applied to a sample, measurement can be performed by selecting No Barcode for the sample on the Order Sample page of the Database screen. Such samples are referred to as samples without barcode labels.(5)Internal mode, Internal/E*ternal mode, E*ternal modeInternal mode is set when Database is selected for Query Sequence on the Online Configuration screen of TBA. When Database HOST is selected, the system is set to Internal/E*ternal mode. When HOST is selected, the system is set to E*ternal mode.(6)Sample during runIf any of the records for a sample (including first run, rerun, and replicate) is in the Run status (the color of the record is brown), the sample is referred to as a sample during run. Normally, a rerun order or additional assay order cannot be made for a sample during run.(7)Measured sampleIf all the records for a sample (including first run, rerun, and replicate) are in the Valid (V), Inplete (I), or plete (A) status, the sample is referred as a measured sample.The term measured sample does not include samples for which sampling has been pleted but the results are not available yet.(8)Acknowledgement (ACK) messageThe ACK message is a response that indicates that a message has been received. Although it is a response, it is not always a response to a message. The negative acknowledgement (NACK) message indicates that the message has not been received correctly.*. z.-CONTENTSPageSCOPEU-11.PROTOCOL SPECIFICATIONS11.1Hardware Specifications11.2Interface Specifications21.3System Options32.MUNICATION MESSAGE SPECIFICATIONS92.1Establishment of munication92.2Format mon to Messages92.2.1Characters92.2.2Message structure102.2.3Check digit (CD) (option)102.2.4Response message format112.2.5Abnormal responses to ACK112.2.6ACK/NACK without ST*/ET*112.2.7Types of transmission messages122.3Order Request Message Q (from TBA to HOST)142.4Order Message O (from HOST to TBA)172.5Result Message R (from TBA to HOST)222.6Result Request Message T (from HOST to TBA)262.7Result Control Message C (from HOST to TBA)272.8Initialize Session Request Message I (from HOST to TBA)292.9Release Master Message M (from HOST to TBA)302.10Release Master Message M (from TBA to HOST)312.11Calibration Result Message (S) (from TBA to HOST)322.12Absorbance Result Message A (from TBA to HOST)362.13Message Priority392.14E*amples of Sessions39CONTENTS - continuedPage3.INFORMATION HANDLING FOR EACH PROTOCOL TYPE413.1General Conditions413.1.1Samples wit
