BARCODE:
ASCII string with variable lengths, maximum of 15
characters allowed. This is the barcode just as it is read
by the Mini Cube Barcode Reader.
TERMINATOR
: the string of barcodes terminates with the 0x10 byte. This
is because the length of this string is variable.
DATA ANALYSES :
string of 6 characters without terminator,
“
DDMMYY
” where:
“DD” = day of the month, from “01” to “31” ASCII.
“MM” = Month of the year, from “01” to “12” ASCII.
“YY” = Year of the century, from “00” to “99” ASCII.
TIME ANALYSES :
string of 4 characters without terminator, “
hhmm
”
where:
“hh” = hour of the day, from “00” to “23” ASCII.
“mm” = Minutes, from “00” to “59” ASCII.
VES:
Value of the VES measured, ASCII string without terminator: from “
0” (3 ‘0’) transmitted in the case of an error, to “ 140” (1
space + “140”). If the result is greater of 140 the string will be “>140”.
EXAMPLES, see following table:
VES value

Bytes of the String
1
“ 1”
0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x31
100
“ 100”
0x20, 0x31, 0x30, 0x30
>140
“>140”
0x3E, 0x31, 0x34, 0x30
H-FLAGS / L-FLAGS:
Bitmap with 8-bit of the sample errors,
represented in HEX-ASCII. The following table
illustrates the errors:
Bit
Error
Description
0
Sample High
Blood column too high
1
Sample Low
Blood column too low
2
Sample Absent
Tube Empty
