1 Purpose
This document describes the communication interface for the I.E.M ECG Loop-Event
Recorder.
2 Application
It is described how data has to be handled between the PC and the Loop-Event
Recorder. The data is transferred using a Bluetooth dongle connected to the PC.
Note: All numbers mentioned in this Transmission Protocol are decimal numbers.
3 Description
The Loop-Event Recorder will be named as LER in the rest of the document.
3.1 Parameter:
115200 baud, 1 startbit, 1 stopbit, no parity
3.2 Synchronisation:
PC sends 5, ENQ LER returns 6, ACK
3.3 Communication block:

A communication block consists of 25 bytes with the following construction:
1. Start byte always = 2, STX

2. Command byte
3.
bis Data bytes
23.
24. checksum of bytes 2 to 23
25. End byte always = 3, ETX
Any communication block which was received by the LER correctly, is confirmed by
6, ACK, in case of transmission errors, the LER will returned 21, NAK.
The return of ACK does only mean the block was received correctly NOT that the
command could be executed by the LER in the correct way!

Product Name:
Autor: Harald Eer
3.4 Checksum:
The checksum is calculated by addition of the command byte and all data bytes. This
simply can be done by the following function:
#define BLOCK_SIZE 25
static unsigned char CheckSum( unsigned char *Buffer) {

//======================================================
// relevant bytes : 2. - 23.
int i;
unsigned char Check; //checksum
Check=0;
for (i=1; i<(BLOCK_SIZE-2); Check += Buffer[i++]) ;
return Check;
}

4.12 Make ECG Setting

PC sends <105>
LER answers <104> with one block of 25 bytes with
11. data byte = error number
12. data byte = battery voltage in mV/20
Without error LER sends ECG data in consecutive afterwards.

1. data byte = channel 1 low byte
2. data byte = channel 1 high byte
3. data byte = channel 2 low byte
4. data byte = channel 2 high byte
Each channel represents a 12 bit ADC value. (0 to 4095)
The highest nibble of each channel contains the channel flag in highest bit.
The channel flag is located in bit 15: 0 marks channel 1 and 1 marks channel 2.
The channel values represent the signal in upside down direction.

Each value is an 12 bit ADC value with a voltage reference of 3,3 Volt and a gain of
1010.
Signal voltage = (ADC * 3300 / 4095)/1010

4.13 Read History Table Counter

LER answers <113> with the number of items in databyte 1.
4.14 Read complete History Table
Every errors, Event/Loop measurements or erasing of measurements are stored in a

history table permanently. The table can include 0 to 147 items consisting of 7 bytes
each.
Each entry will be send in a complete 25 byte block.
This table can be read out by the following command:
PC sends <08< or <114>

LER answers <114> and
databytes 0 to 3: date/time, low to high byte

databyte 4: code: see erro codes in the last chapter
databyte 5: pretime in seconds
databyte 6: posttime in seconds
4.15 Read History Table

This commands reads only the History Table until an erasing of measurement was
stored. The result is the number of items after the last device preparation.
4.15.1 Read all items

All items including errors can be read out:
PC sends <06> or <112> with <0> in the first databyte
LER sends <112> with data like described in 4.15.
4.15.2Read only measurement items

Only Loop/Event items will be send.

The next bytes are as following:

Absolute value Channel 2, 2 Bytes
Data BYTE 0 Channel CRC CRC CRC BIT11 BIT10 BIT9 BIT8
Data BYTE 1 BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0
CRC = (BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0) XOR (BIT11 BIT10 BIT9 BIT8)
CRC = (CRC High Nibble) XOR (CRC Low Nibble)
Absolute value Channel 1, 2 Bytes
Data BYTE 2 Channel CRC CRC CRC BIT11 BIT10 BIT9 BIT8
Data BYTE 3 BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0
CRC = (BIT7 BIT6 BIT5 BIT4 BIT3 BIT2 BIT1 BIT0) XOR (BIT11 BIT10 BIT9 BIT8)
