Test Order Message - Q/P/O
2. Test Order Message - Q/P/O

Purpose to use this message: Instrument Query Host Answer Purpose Query after reading sample bar-code (in case that Host answers positively) (Query Test order for specimens that have no Test order.) Query after reading sample bar-code (in case that Host answers negatively) (Query Test order for specimens that have no Test order.) Event: Host L-11, L-21 (M-2) L-11, L-22 (M-2) Instrument I-1 (M-1) I-1 (M-1)
Sample rotor scanning The instrument queries for test requisitions for each sample that has no test requisitions using 1 message/ 1 sample. Host must answer these queries for each sample by a certain time while system begins to make schedule for the sample. Even if the Host answers these queries after the certain time out limit, the instrument accepts these responses. In this case, the instrument regards these responses as batch download. (ignores these responses as answers to previous queries)
Host Query Instrument Answer Purpose Query for Information of Test order (in case that Instrument answers positively) (Answer Information of Test Order that were requested from Host.) Query for Information of Test order (in case that Instrument answers negatively) (Answer negatively when there is no Information of Test Order that were requested from Host.) Event: Host L-1 (M-1) Instrument I-11, I-21 (M-2)
L-1 (M-1)
I-11, I-22 (M-2)
The instrument receives a Test Order Message Query. 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 test selection information for some samples using one message.
Host Download Purpose Ordering of tests and canceling of tests (Order tests for specimens and cancel the tests.) Event: Host L-11, L-23 (M-2) Instrument
The instrument receives a Test Order Message. 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)
Instrument Cancel Query Purpose Canceling of the previous Query (Cancel the previous Query because of time out.) L-*, I-*: M-*: Host Instrument I-2 (M-1) refer to "Details of Records" refer to "Construction of Message"

[NOTES] 1. It is impossible to download test selections for a new CONTROL sample (For a CONTROL sample it is only possible to download test selections when it is already registered.) 2. In case that the Host answers with a test selection for an outstanding query, it is necessary to set the same Sequence No and Sample ID as the instrument asked for in the Query Message. If these data (Sequence No and Sample ID) are not same as asked for from the instrument, the instrument ignores this message as the answer to the Query and continues waiting for the correct answer from Host. In case no Sample ID was sent from the instrument ( specimen ID field is empty), the Host can set the correct Sample ID in the answering Test Order Message. Also in this case, it is necessary to answer with the same Sequence No as the instrument queried for. 3. The instrument registers test selections from Host as follows.

different samples, the instrument only updates the sample which was found first according to the search algorithm. 3 O RotorNo/ RackID & Position No Seq No O O In case of a new registration, the instrument assigns @SeqNo as Sample ID automatically. If the Host does not answer to a query with the same Sample ID, the instrument does not update this sample. However if @SeqNo was assigned as sample ID (sample without bar-code), the instrument overwrites this sample ID with the one which was sent from Host. O If the instrument can not find a corresponding sample in database by searching with Sample ID key, then the instrument searches the sample again by using RotorNo/ RackID & Position No key. If @SeqNo was assigned as sample ID (sample without bar-code), the instrument overwrites this sample ID with the one which was sent from Host. In case of a registration update (button on the screen), the instrument overwrites RotorNo/ RackID & Position No to the one that were sent earlier from Host. Instrument does not overwrite RotorNo/ RackID & Position No to the one that were sent from Host. If the host does not answer to a query with the corresponding Sample ID, the instrument does not update the sample. If @SeqNo was assigned as sample ID (sample without bar-code), the instrument overwrites this sample ID with the one which was sent from Host. The instrument does not overwrite RotorNo/ RackID & Position No to the one that were sent from Host. O: [space]: Set or Available, Not Set or NOT Available

5. Calibrator Parameters Message - XT/CP

Purpose to use this message: Upload Instrument Host Purpose Upload after completion of scanning of the Bar-code Card. (Upload information of Bar-code Card.) Event: Host Instrument I-1, I-11 (M-1)
Scan bar-code card of a calibrator. 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 Query for information of Calibrator Parameters (Answer information of Calibrator Parameters that were requested from Host.) Event: Host L-1, L-11 (M-2) Instrument I-1, I-11 (M-1)
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 Instrument Purpose Host Instrument Download Information of Calibrator Parameters L-2, L-12 (M-2) (Download only target value of each Calibrator Parameters.) (If an instrument has never seen the Calibrator Parameters before, the downloading becomes invalid.) L-*, I-*: refer to "Details of Records" M-*: refer to "Construction of Message" Event: The instrument receives a Calibrator Parameters Message. 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 does not know, then this data is not valid (will be ignored).
