  • Insertion machine with audit trail and command protocol
    Patent number: 4734865
    Abstract: Processing events of an insertion machine are managed by a first data processor (DPS1) 100'. The DPS 100' is connected to a second data processor (DPS2) 700 by a data transmission cable 703 whereby the DPS1 sends data formatted in accordance with a plurality of 95-TO-PC COMMANDS to the DPS2 700 and whereby the DPS2 700 sends data formatted in accordance with a plurality of PC-TO-95 COMMANDS to the DPS1 100'. Some of the PC-TO-95 COMMANDS are used for downloading values for insertion machine input parameters and are generated in response to user input via a keyboard 720 as prompted by appropriate displays on a monitor 718. Other PC-TO-95 COMMANDS are generated in response to user input for interrogating the DPS1 100' and prompt the DPS1 100' to generate an answering 95-TO-PC COMMAND which includes insertion machine-related operating output data.
