1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This document describes the interfacing characteristics of the Abbott
CELL-DYN® 1800 automated hematology analyzer when attached to a Host.
1.2 Definitions and Conventions
Host: external computer or data collection system.
CELL-DYN 1800: Abbott CELL-DYN 1800.
This specification follows guidelines adopted at the Biomedical Instrumentation
Interface Standards Conference held at the University of Florida in December 1980
and at the University of Texas in Dallas, April 1981.
Signal designators and related characteristics follow EIA Standard RS232C as
summarized in “The Handbook of Computers and Computing,” Seidman and Flores,
Van Nostrad Reinhold, 1984; and “Integrated Circuits Applications Handbook,”
Arthur H. Seidman, John Wiley & Sons, 1983.
Numeric equivalents of characters are shown as hexadecimal (hex) values.

3.0 Electrical Interface
3.1 Voltage levels and electrical characteristics are as defined by the EIA
RS-232C specification.
3.2 The maximum recommended cable length is 30 meters, or 100 feet. The actual
maximum workable cable length is dependent on the environment of the site, the
selected baud rate, and the equipment being connected together.
4.0 Data Interface

The system can be configured for data transmission using the COMPUTER SETUP Menu.
The configurable transmission parameters include data bits, stop bits, parity and baud rate.
4.1 The asynchronous method of data transmission (serial by bit) is used.
4.2 All information transmitted is in character form and is represented by 7-bit or ASCII.
4.3 Transmitted characters consist of one (1) start bit, seven (7) or eight (8) data bits
(least significant first), one or no parity bit, and one (1) or two (2) stop bits.
4.4 Parity may be selected as none, odd, or even.
4.5 The transmission speed may be selected from 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 bits per
second (bps).
4.6 With the exception of the control characters mentioned in Section 5.2, only printable
ASCII characters (hex 20 to hex 7E) are used in a message.

5.0 Communication Protocol
5.1 Communication Modes
5.1.1 RUN Menu Automatic Transmit Mode
The User may select the Automatic Transmit mode on the COMPUTER
SETUP Menu. This mode allows the automatic transmission of results during
the RUN cycle. If Automatic Transmit mode has been selected, the user may
also choose whether or not to transmit histograms along with the count data.
5.1.2 DATALOG Menu Transmit Mode
On the DATALOG Menu, the user may select results from a single sample or
from multiple samples for transmission. Only count data may be transmitted
from the Data Log menu.
5.1.3 DISPLAY SPECIMEN Menu Transmit Mode
On the DISPLAY SPECIMEN Menu, the user may request transmission of
results from the specimen being displayed. Count data are transmitted.
Histograms are also transmitted if the Automatic Transmit mode is selected in
the COMPUTER SETUP Menu.
5.2 Transmission Control
Transmission control is provided in two ways: 1) XOFF/XON protocol in which the
Host transmits an XOFF character (hex 13) to stop transmission from the System and
an XON character (hex 11) to re-start transmission; and 2) CTS (Clear To Send)
hardware control.
The XOFF/XON protocol has a 1.5 second time-out. If no XON is received for 1.5
seconds after an XOFF, then transmission resumes anyway.
The CTS hardware control has no time-out. That is, no data transmission will be
started with CTS false. However, the transmission will still time-out if at any one time
CTS remains false for longer than the time-out selected in the COMPUTER SETUP
Menu (see Section 5.3.1 below). This is a different use and meaning for time-out, but
it is needed to prevent the Host from indefinitely delaying the CELL-DYN 1800 from
processing the next sample. Re-transmission requests are also supported and
discussed in Section 5.3.

5.3 Response from Host
5.3.1 Between-Transmission Time-out
The time-out interval after transmission of one message is programmable in
the COMPUTER SETUP Menu from 100 milliseconds to 9.9 seconds in 100
millisecond increments.
NOTE: The timer starts just as the ETX, which ends the message, is
transmitted.
5.3.2 Release for Next Message
The Host can release the CELL-DYN 1800 to send the next message by
sending an ACK (06 hex) before the time-out interval passes. Otherwise, the
CELL-DYN 1800 will begin transmission of the next message at the end of
the time-out interval in 5.3.1 above.
5.3.3 Re-transmission
If for any reason the Host requires re-transmission of the message, it signals
the CELL-DYN 1800 by sending a NAK (15 hex) before expiration of the
time-out. A message will be sent by the CELL-DYN 1800 a maximum of
three (3) times. After that, the same conditions prevail as after a time-out.
The Host may (it is desirable but not mandatory) acknowledge the re-
transmission with ACK or NAK. If ACK is sent, the CELL-DYN 1800 will
immediately start processing the next record (if any). If NAK is sent, the
record will NOT be transmitted a third time. Receipt of either the ACK or
NAK will allow the CELL-DYN 1800 to move to the next record more quickly.
5.4 Message Format
The message format consists of the following elements:
STX, ID SEGMENT, RESULT SEGMENT, CHECK SUM, ETX.
5.4.1 There are four (4) types of messages, each distinguished by its ID segment:
WBC Histogram Message
RBC Histogram Message
PLT Histogram Message
Count Data Message
5.4.2 The four messages taken together represent all the results of testing a single
specimen.
5.4.3 Each message begins with STX (hex 02).
5.4.4 The Identification (ID) segment is described fully in Section 6.
5.4.5 The Result segment is described fully in Section 7.
5.4.6 The Check Sum is always provided and may be optionally processed by the
Host to verify correct transmission. It is generated by taking the modulo-256
sum of all the characters in the message except the STX and ETX
characters. The two-digit hexadecimal representation of the Check Sum byte
is placed immediately before the ETX as two ASCII characters.
5.4.7 The ETX character (hex 03) is the last character of the message.

5.4.8 Message Length
Each of the three Histogram messages is 1204 characters long. The Count
Data message is 406 characters long. These message lengths count all
characters from STX to ETX inclusive.
5.4.9 Data Representation
Numeric data are transmitted in fields of fixed length with zeros used to fill empty
spaces on the left. Out-of-range numeric values are represented by strings of
">" characters (hex 3E), and undefined numeric values are represented by
strings of "–" characters (hex 2D). Alphanumeric data are transmitted in fields
of fixed length enclosed in double quotation marks (hex 22). Within the
quotation marks, the data are right-justified and blanks (hex 20) are used to fill
empty spaces. Fields are separated by commas (hex 2C).
6.0 Identification (ID) Segment
6.0.1 For counting purposes, the STX mentioned in Section 5.4.3 is taken as byte 1.
6.1 The Identification segment of each message identifies the type of message and the
specimen the message represents.
6.2 Message Type—Field 1
The Message Type field identifies the message. There are four message types:
WBC Histogram Message— Type "WBC"
RBC Histogram Message— Type "RBC"
PLT Histogram Message— Type "PLT"
Count Data Message— Type "__ _" (3 blanks)
6.3 Instrument Type—Field 2

The Instrument Type is an alphanumeric field of seven (7) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks. The string for the CELL-DYN 1800 is sent as
" CD1800".
6.4 Serial Number—Field 3

The Instrument Serial Number is an alphanumeric field of twelve (12) characters
enclosed in double quotation marks. It is not available in this release, so the field is
transmitted as "– – – – – – – – – – – –" (twelve dashes).
6.5 Sequence Number—Field 4

The Sequence Number is a numeric field of four (4) characters with a value ranging
from 0 to 9999.

6.6 Specimen Type—Field 5
The Specimen Type is the fifth field in the Identification Segment. It occupies a
numeric field of two characters whose value identifies the specimen type as follows:
00: Patient type "PATIENT"
01: Replicate 1 "REPLIC 1"
10: Low Control "LOW CTRL"
11: Normal Control "NOR CTRL"
12: High Control "HI CTRL"
13: Background "BACKGRD"
14: Electrical Background "ELEC BKGD"
15: Calibrator "CALIBRATR"
16: Gain Adjustment "GAIN ADJ"
17: Auto Calibration "AUTO CAL"
6.7 Operator ID—Field 6
The Operator ID is a alphanumeric field of three (3) digits enclosed in double

quotation marks. If no Operator ID is specified, the field is transmitted as "– – –".
6.8 Specimen Date—Field 7

The Specimen Date, giving the date on which the specimen was run, is an
alphanumeric field of eight (8) characters enclosed in double quotation marks. The
default format of the date is MM/DD/YY, where MM represents the month in two
digits, DD represents the day of the month, and YY represents the year. The date
format can be changed in the DATE/TIME Menu.
6.9 Specimen Time—Field 8

The Specimen Time is a alphanumeric field of five (5) characters enclosed in double
quotation marks. It gives the time at which the specimen was run in standard 24-
hour format.
6.10 Specimen ID—Field 9

The Specimen ID is an alphanumeric field of sixteen (16) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks. If the specimen is a patient specimen, the Specimen ID is
entered by the operator. Otherwise, the Specimen ID is generated by the
CELL-DYN 1800 to identify special types of samples, such as controls. If not
specified, the Specimen ID is transmitted as "– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – "
(16 dashes). See Section 6.6 (Field 5).

6.11 Specimen Name—Field 10
The Specimen Name is the tenth field in the Identification Segment. It occupies a
text field of sixteen (16) characters enclosed in double quotation marks, and it is
undefined except for patient samples.
6.12 Specimen Sex—Field 11

The Specimen Sex field consists of one (1) character “M” or “F” enclosed in double
quotation marks. If not entered by the operator, Specimen Sex is transmitted as a
blank " ".
6.13 Specimen Date of Birth (DOB)—Field 12
The Specimen Date of Birth field has an identical format to Field 7, except that Field
7 is automatically generated by the CELL-DYN 1800. If DOB is not entered by the
operator, it is transmitted as "bb/bb/bb" where the “bb”s are actually 2 ASCII blanks
each.
6.14 Dr Name—Field 13
The Dr Name field is an alphanumeric field of twenty two (22) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks.
6.15 Collection Date—Field 14

The Collection Date field is an alphanumeric field of five (5) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks. The format is MM/DD, where MM represents the month in
two digits and DD represents the day. The year is not included. It gives the date at
which the specimen was collected. If the Collection Date is not entered, it is
transmitted as "bb/bb" where the “bb”s are 2 ASCII blanks as in Field 12 above.
6.16 Collection Time—Field 15

The Collection Time field is an alphanumeric field of five (5) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks. It gives the time at which the specimen was collected. If
the Collection Time is not entered, it is transmitted as "bb:bb" (“bb”s are 2 ASCII
blanks each and “:” is the middle byte).
6.17 Comment—Field 16
The Comment field is an alphanumeric field of sixteen (16) characters enclosed in
double quotation marks.
NOTE: Fields 1 to 16 above are common in both format AND actual content for a
given sample and, as such, are transmitted multiple times when histogram
transmission is requested (first—if sent—with all three histograms and then again
with the count record). Given today’s typical transmission speeds and the lengths of
the rest of the fields, the convenience of having the header information combined
with each data group has been chosen over the absolute smallest or fastest
transmission. Also, in the time frame of even normal sample processing, the
transmissions (at 9600 baud) should take less than 4 seconds out of the 60 second
(nominal) cycle time.

7.0 Results Segment
7.1 The results for each specimen are sent in the format described. All numeric fields
are integers, and some need to be scaled by the Host.
7.2 Histogram Messages
Refer to Table 1, Histogram Messages, and Table 2, Histogram Record Dump.
7.2.1 Scale Factor—Field 17
The Scale Factor is a numeric field of five (5) characters. It is not
implemented at this time and is therefore always transmitted as 00000 (5
ASCII zeros without the surrounding double quotes).
7.2.2 Channel Data—Fields 18 through 273
The Channel Data fields are numeric fields of three (3) characters each,
giving normalized counts for every channel of the designated histogram
(WBC, RBC, or PLT). Data for each channel will occupy 4 bytes total since
there will be a comma between each 3-digit value. Each value is right-
justified with ASCII zero “0” (not null) characters to keep the fields a fixed
length. So a channel value of binary zero is transmitted as three ASCII zero
characters (000).
NOTE: A comma (,) follows the last field which immediately precedes the
CRC characters.
7.3 Count Data Message

Refer to Table 3, Count Data Messages, and Table 4, Count Record Dump.
The parameters reported by the instrument may be represented in any of four
different sets of measurement units as follows:
Set 1—Standard USA
Set 2—SI
Set 3—Modified SI (HGB/MCHC in mmol/L, MCH in fmol)
Set 4—Modified SI (HCT/PCT in %)
NOTE: The numeric values transmitted to the host are always sent in Standard USA
units even if the unit of measure, also being transmitted, is Set 2, 3, or 4.
To convert the integer transmitted in the field corresponding to a particular

parameter to the correct value for that parameter in the units being used, the
decimal point must be moved leftward from its implied position to the right of the
integer. The description of each field gives a shift count indicating how many places
to move the decimal point in each case. If, for example, the decimal point is to be
moved two places to the left, a field value of 00123 becomes 1.23. An integer
representing the Units Set currently in effect is transmitted in the Units Set field
(Section 7.3.46).
For Units Set 3, the HGB, MCH, and MCHC values must be multiplied by 0.6206
after the decimal point has been positioned.
The units of measure associated with the four sets are explained in the
CELL-DYN 1800 Operator’s Manual.
