EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Communication with Alaris/Asena Syringe Pump

Geoff - thanks for the reply.

The docs say that you only need the serial number if you're looking to do remote config. I'm not, just trying to get the Syringe Force pressure from the device.

I ended up trying a different program for the serial connection. Also you don't need to use hex, or at least not on the put that I've got. Just using GTKTerm and then sending:

!SYRFORCE|1E6F

Got this back:

!SYRFORCE^1.382^kgf^1943^1748^mV^13727^uA|80AD

Which is exactly what I was looking for. So you just use the CRC-CCIT to encode the command, put the ! at the start and the | in the middle and that's it. Also:

FLOW control is NONE. But it will work with RTS/CTS as well. So my settings are:

38400 baud (or 38.4k)
Parity - none
Command bits - 8
Stopbits - 1
Flow control - None

As an aside, I see someone has edited my post. Just wondering why?
