Computer control of a Braun Infusomat pump.
Machine code programs have been produced to allow a simple method of communication between a computer and the Braun Infusomat pump. Commands are set up as character strings using a high-level language and passed to a machine code program which transmits them to the pump. Messages from the pump are received under interrupt control for display by the high-level language. Any error in communication is stored in memory and the appropriate action taken by the main application program.
