With the barcode scanner, the barcodes can be scanned directly at the
centrifuge during the loading process. The centrifugation data can be
enquired cyclically (automatically) by the PC. Once a centrifugation run is
complete, the PC can detect this and save the result (centrifugation data
with barcodes).
Barcode commands
Setting a barcode: "setbarcode"
Every code must be set separately. This is done automatically by way of
the scanner. Barcodes will only be accepted under the following conditions:
• There is no active centrifugation run.
• There are not any barcodes stored in the system which have already
been used for a centrifugation run.
• The barcode does not already exist.
• It is an ISBT 128 barcode with the data structure 001 (donation
identification number) and there are fewer than 12 of these codes
stored in the system.
• It is an ISBT 128 barcode with the data structure 020 (staff member
identification number) and there are not any barcodes with this data
structure stored in the system.
If the barcode is accepted, the data of the last centrifugation run will be
automatically deleted and the "Barcode" menu will be displayed.
NOTE
In the event of a mains power failure, all the codes that have been
scanned in so far will be lost and must be scanned again.
Reading out the stored barcodes: "getbarcodes"
All of the codes will be output in one response. This leads to the following
possible response formats:
• No codes are stored
→
syntax "Barcodes none\r\n"
• Only codes with the data structure 001 are stored
→
syntax "Barcodes abc, def,…\r\n" (abc, def,… = barcodes)
• Only codes with the data structure 020 are stored
→
syntax "Barcodes abc (staff)\r\n" (abc = barcode)
• Codes with the data structures 001 and 020 are stored
→
syntax: "Barcodes abc (staff), def,…\r\n" (abc, def,… = barcodes)
