The architechture of the communication is still using RS-232 with 9 pin. It’s similar to Sysmex XT21800 and XT2000 which use the computer to stored the data. So, the connection is between the instrument’s PC and the LIS PC. Using 9 pin DB-male to connect, the cable confguration is just lilke usual 2-3-5 –>3-2-5

2 (STX) >>>> 3 (RTX)
3 (RTX) >>>> 2 (STX)
5 (GRD) >>>> 5 (GRD)

The port setting will be:
Baud rate = 9600
Data  bit = 8
Stop bit = 1
Parity = 0 (None)

The intrument setting will be:
File -> Commnuication -> HostCommunication
There will be the setting for port config and port number. You should see which port was running by doing some alt+tab procedure (require admin paassword) and then try the port to communicate with the LIS computer.

The communication type:
Pentra DF120 is using ASTM as its protocol, so to extract the data, you should send an <ENQ> tag and replied by <ACK> for the rest of information and ended by <EOT>. I’m using HT to get the data and it seems to have some pattern of Pentra400. Let see how can I undergo this one….
