Record field contents
In the examples below, the overhead characters of
<STX>
and frame number at the front and checksum
plus
<CR><LF>
at the end are not shown.
Optional fields and UTF8-encoded fields are indicated.
E.6 Header record
The fields used in this record are as specified in LIS2-A2:
6.1
Record type ID—
H
identifies the record as a
message header record.
6.2
Delimiter definition—The five Latin-1 characters
immediately following the
H
record type ID define
the delimiters used throughout the subsequent
records of the message.
– The second character in the header record is
the
field delimiter .
– The third character is the repeat delimiter .
– The fourth character is the component
delimiter .
– The fifth character is the escape character .
6.5
Sender ID—This text field defines the sender. In
OsmoTECH XT osmometers, this is defined by
the instrument type and the software version.
6.10
Receiver—Text field containing the name of the
receiver. This field is used to verify that the
transmission is for the receiver. In the instrument,
this text is the word
LIS
.
6.12
Processing ID—Message processing where
P
= production (sample test data) and
Q
= quality
control.

E.8 Test order record
The fields used in this record are as specified in LIS2-A2:
8.4.1 Record type ID—
O
identifies the record as a test
order record.
8.4.2 Sequence number—Number (integer) of the
order record for the sample.
8.4.3 Specimen ID (optional, UTF8-encoded)—Text
field containing the unique specimen ID assigned
by the LIS.
If no instrument specimen ID (8.4.4) is specified,
the specimen ID must be specified.
8.4.4 Instrument specimen ID (optional)—Text field
containing the unique specimen ID assigned by
the instrument either from reading a barcode or
as entered by an operator.
If no specimen ID (8.4.3) is specified, the

not look for the specimen until after that date/
time.
8.4.8 Specimen collection date and time (optional)—
Text field indicating the date/time that the
specimen was collected.
8.4.10 Collection volume (optional)—Text field indicating
the volume of the specimen. If no unit is specified
