For full details on interfacing to external devices, refer to the 248
Interface Manual (Cat. 570030).
The 248 supports three data communication protocols on both ports.
CMSI
CMSI allows communication with Ciba Corning Diagnostics
instrumentation, for example the 270 CO-oximeter, 2500 CO-oximeter
and the Complement data management system. A current loop
convertor is required for interfacing with some of these systems.
NOTE:
a 178 blood gas analyzer. As such, QC samples are reported as syringe
samples.
