HORIBA ABX analyzers format responds to the ASTM specifications E-1381 & E-1394: Table 1: Standard control characters

wait for 20 s before to take the line again.
2. Records general format specifications (ASTM 1394)
2.2.1. Structure of records for Order transmission • Delimiter must be used even if field is free.
• Delimiters inside records are seperate by «|» (ASCII $7C).
• H (Header) • Delimiters inside fields are seperate by «^» (ASCII $5E).
• .. P (Patient)
• .. C (Patient Comments) Optional 2.3.1. Header record
• ... .....O (Order)
• ... .....C (Order Comments) Optional R = Received by Pentra 400 from the Host
• L (Terminator) S = Send by Pentra 400 to the Host
The transmission of an Order without Patient record is not allowed, but Patient record Table 8: Header record fields
can be empty. Example: <STX>2P|1<CR><ETX>BB<CR><LF>.
