This is a high quality laser scanning & CCD module (Figures 8-5, & 8-7). It is
connected to the "Serum Plate Controller Module" through the serial port. It can
automatically read 6 different types of codes. It is also possible to reprogram the
scanning modules with additional codes during installation. Bt 3000 PLUS has
barcode scanning modules for the reagent module and the serum module.
Important
Notice:
Any modification to the Variable Serial Protocol (refer to paragraph 4-6. "Variable
Serial Protocol" in Section IV) is restricted to qualified personnel only. The
Biotecnica Instruments S.p.A. guaranties the correct performance of the internal
serial protocol. The responsibility for any malfunction arising out of any
modifications to the scripts of the Variable Serial Protocol rests with the customer.
WARNING
This information regards the setting up of the barcode for sample tubes
identification. The reading of the sample barcode label has the same progression
as patient code.
For example: Once a patient code of 15 characters has been entered, then a code
of 8 characters followed by 7 empty spaces to reach the 15 characters is sent.
The code read on the barcode label must have the same sequence 8 + 7 for
correct detection.
