Software Product Description
PRODUCT NAME:

POLl RT -11 , Version 1, Programmable Data Logger

DESCRIPTION:
Programmable
Data
Logger
(PDL)
is
a
hardware/software package based upon the PDP11
that provides a unique solution to the data
acquisition needs of medical laborartories. Data acquisition from common laboratory instruments is accomplished by software modules that provide a link
to MU BASIC/RT-11. With thislink, programs can be
prepared in BASIC to calculate and report the data
collected from the instruments.
PDL/RT-11 data acquisition software can service up
to 15 instruments. The instruments can be analog
peak sensing devices such as auto analyzers, analog plateau sensing devices such as SMA's, or digital instruments like the Coulter Model" S".
In addition, the acquisition modules can collect data
from instruments with serial ASCII output such as
radioimmunoassay devices. The modules provided
also collect data in an on-demand mode from both
analog and digital instruments to handle a wide variety of semi-automatic devices. The parameters to be
used with each instrument channel are specified in a
BASIC program and can be readily changed. Feedback to the instrument operator is provided by the
Local Operator's Console (LOC) Box located beside
each instrument. The LOC Box reports the status of
buffers to the operator by a set of lights. The LOC
Box sends control information such as Start Data
Acquisition, Mark Samples, and Halt Data Acquisition received from the operator by push buttons.
POL provides all the facilities of MU BASIC/RT-11
asimultaneously with data acquisition. Programs can
be written, stored, loaded and executed completely
independent of any data acquisition processing. Because MU BASIC/RT-11 provides these facilities for
multiple users, laboratories can use POL to maintain
monthly quality control logs, statistics, routine laboratory calculations, instrument reports, patient
reports, worklists, and patient identification.
POL also supports a serial asynchronous interface
(OL11) which can be used to communicate with another computer.
