1. Outline

1) The following data is exchanged between the AU2700/5400 and the host computer system.

(1) Test Requisition Information (T.R.I.)
(2) Test Results

2) The data transmission is conducted in either of the following mode:

(1) Class A Transmission is without synchronizing with analysis. This mode does not utilize the ACK/NAK protocol.
(2) Class B Transmission is synchronizing with analysis. This mode does utilize the ACK/NAK protocol.

3) The Following format and protocol can be selected by [PARAMETER] [ONLINE] menu.

(1) Setup
(2) Communication protocol
