Page 4: Comp-U-Diff Model 10-329
GENERAL INFORMATION COMP-U-DIFF (model 10-329) is a differential cell counter and morphology data entry workstation that provides efficient, direct computer entry of differential counts, RBC morphology, comment, specimen and technical identification. COMP-U-DIFF guides the operator through the data entry procedures via a series of English-text prompts displayed on a large bright backlit LCD. -
Page 5: Physical Layout
PHYSICAL LAYOUT FUNCTION KEYS Six function keys are located directly above the keypad area as shown in the diagram below. Three of these keys access multiple screens where each key depression advances to the next screen. The function keys operate in the following manner each time one is depressed. -
Page 6: Data Entry Keys
DATA ENTRY KEYS The data entry keys provide two different operations. 1) The twelve keys add counts to different cell channels in COUNT mode; or, 2) Enable the entry of specific numeric values [0-9] for identification numbers, quantifiers, etc. The [INC] and [DEC] keys provide two functions: 1) Screen cursor controls;... -
Page 8: Operation
OPERATION TO APPLY POWER Plug power adapter connector into the associated socket located on the rear panel of the COMP-U-DIFF. Insert the power adapter plug into the wall outlet. The screen will display the specimen entry form. TO ENTER SPECIMEN ID AND COLLECTION DATE The screen displays the word STORE and a flashing cursor will be noted over the first digit of the Specimen number. -
Page 9: Enter Differential Counts
TO ENTER DIFFERENTIAL COUNTS (CONTINUED) 1. Press the [COUNT] key until the word TOTAL is displayed on the screen. Enter differential counts by depressing the appropriate key for each category (i.e. SEGS, BANDS, MONOS, etc.). Each time a count is entered, both the corresponding channel count and the total count are increased by one and, an audible click will be heard (except for non- totalizing channel where the count is deposited only in associated channel, but not in the total count). -
Page 10: Convert Counts To Percent
TO CONVERT COUNTS TO PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL 1. Press the [COUNT] key until the -%- is displayed. 2. Each channel is now calculated and displayed as percent of total; i.e., a two digit number. 3. If the NRBC is designated for the non-total channel, the non-totalized value will be normalized to the number of NRBCs per 100 WBCs. -
Page 11: Enter Morphology
ENTRY OF MORPHOLOGY SELECTIONS COMP-U-DIFF allows for the entry of 24 morphology selections arranged in alphabetical order on four screens of six selections each. 1. Press the MORPH key the required number of times to select any one of the four morphology screens. 2. -
Page 12: Store Mode
OPERATING MODES STORE MODE The STORE mode primarily allows the user to gather results (i.e., enter Specimen identification, diff counts, morphology and comment data) and store these in the batch memory. 1. After entering results, press the [EXEC] key to store these in the next available location of the batch memory. -
Page 13: Selective Clearing
CLEAR OPERATIONS CLEARING SELECTIVE DATA FROM MEMORY 1. Press the [MODE] key to access the RECALL mode. 2. Select the desired record to be erased. 3. Press the [CLEAR] key. All data associated with the specimen will be set to zero and the COMP-U-DIFF will advance and display the next specimen record. -
Page 14: Send Single Report Directly
TO SEND DATA SENDING A SINGLE REPORT DIRECTLY ON-LINE While in the STORE mode you may enter your differential and morphology data as previously described. Once entered you may then send the report directly to the host computer without storing the report by simply pressing the [SEND] key; i.e., instead of the [EXEC] key which commits the data to the memory. -
Page 15: Sending All Results
SENDING ALL STORED REPORTS a). Results transmission – operating with bi-directional mode off. 1. Set MODE to BATCH 2. Press the [SEND] key The specimen number for each report will be displayed as each report is transmitted to the host computer. -
Page 16: Hemogram Recall
HEMOGRAM RECALL The COMP-U-DIFF has the capability to query the host computer for a patients Hemogram data. The dialog to recall hemogram data requires that the operator send only the requested specimen number with no cell counts. The host computer will then recognize this unique data format as a request for information whereupon it sends the Hemogram data to the COMP-U-DIFF to be displayed as one or more pages (screens). - Page 17 Programming Considerations For the query example described above, the host LIS computer interface should create the following data format: Upon receipt of the query data, the COMP-U-DIFF will then return an Acknowledge control character <CTRL F> to the host computer. It should be noted that the COMP-U-DIFF ignores the CR and LF characters if sent along with the above data strings.

Page 18: Installation
INSTALLATION A number of options are provided as user selectable Jumper plug settings. These options include: Communications Baud rate Parity Word length Bi-directional protocol Computer/Printer selection Non-total key The socket strip where the selections are made is located on the main logic board adjacent to the contrast control. - Page 19 USER CHANGEABLE SETTINGS <PJ1> LOCATION #1 - - NON-TOTAL KEY (NT1) Jumper on = Upper right key <non-total> Jumper off = All count keys add into grand total <PJ1> LOCATION #2 - - COMPUTER OR PRINTER OUTPUT SELECTION Jumper on = Data output to both Printer and Computer ports. Jumper off = Data output to Computer port only.
- Page 20 RTS/CTS jumper <JMP3> This jumper is located immediately behind the three-port interface jack J2 and between components U3 and U4. Jumper On = Stand-alone operation. Jumper Off = Allows flow control when used with MDS Multiplexer type MD 204. PRINTER PORT This RS232 compatible port is specifically formatted to allow the direct connection of a Ticket Printer to the COMP-U-DIFF.

Page 21: Helpful Hints
HELPFUL HINTS FREE STANDING COUNTER OPERATON (no computer necessary) COMP-U-DIFF can always function as a stand-alone differentia tally counter. Follow Section on Differential count entry. On completion of count, transcribe data by hand. Push CLEAR to zero unit and start next differential. KEY ASSIGNEMENT OVERLAYS A versatile key assignment overlay is furnished with each new COMP-U-DIFF. -
Page 25: Warranty/Service
WARRANTY POLICY Modulus Data Systems, Inc. warrants, for a period of twelve (12) months from date of receipt by the user, the COMP-U-DIFF differential cell counter/workstation against all defects in workmanship and materials. The unit will be repaired or replaced without charge provided it has received normal usage according to the directions accompanying the instrument.
