The LM-1800P/LM-1800PD comes standard with interfaces shown in the table below that enables
transmission of measured data to an external PC.

RS-232C interface RS-232C compliance

USB interface USB 2.0 HOST/FUNC compliance
LAN interface 10/100BASE-T Ethernet

This manual explains the method of receiving the measured data from the LM-1800P/LM-1800PD by
using these interfaces.
This section describes the specifications for the interface for communication between the LM-1800P/
LM-1800PD and an external device such as PC.

• Priority of interface (RS-232C/USB)

Communication is established with the port received data first.
When Com mode parameter is set to NIDEK, communication is possible only with RS-232C. After
the RS-232C communication is normally finished, data is sent through USB interface in NCP10
mode.

For details of communication, see the following pages in the table below according to the communica-
tion method.

73).

• The USB driver is compliant with 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7 and Windows Vista
(SP1 or later), and 32-bit version of Windows XP (SP2 or later).
• The pre-installed standard Windows USB driver (usbser.sys or serenum.sys) is used. This
driver provides virtual COM port. After the installation, the USB Serial Ports Driver (COM*)
will be added to the port of the device manager. Even when the OS is compatible, if the
standard USB driver is uninstalled, the USB drive may not be functional.
If necessary restore the standard USB driver to the PC before performing “Installation of the USB
driver”.
The distributed media does not include the standard USB driver. Contact your PC customer ser-
vice for the restoration process of the USB driver.

The program for data reception needs to be purchased separately.

2.2 Communication Format

Among transmitted data are commands such as “Request to Send” other than measured data. In a
sequence of transmission of measured data from the LM to the PC, the PC transmits “Send Data com-
mand" to the LM, and the LM receives the command and sends “measured data”. The software on the
PC reads the received data strings according to the format information and then performs necessary
processing (for example, display of data on the screen or storage of data on disks).
* When the Com mode parameter is set to “NCP10”, the transmission and reception of com-
2
mands are not performed.

This section explains the formats of these commands or measured data.

Symbols other than ordinary characters in commands or data strings are described as “com-
munication control characters" that are commonly used in data transmission.
These signals are added at the start or end of character strings or to delimit data.

Character
Decimal Hexadecimal Description
name
SOH 1 01H Start of heading character
STX 2 02H Start of text character
ETB 23 17H End of transmission block
EOT 4 04H End of character string
Means the end of the input character string for some software
on the PC.
The CR code is added to the data output from the LM when the
CR code parameter is set to “On”.
CR 13 0DH
The CR code is not added to the character strings transmitted
from the PC.
In addition, whether the line feed (LF: 0AH) code is added or not
after the CR code does not matter.

 3. COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE
(other than NCP20)
3.1 Outline

The procedure for transmitting data measured by the LM to the PC is explained.

1 Save measured data on the LM.

Press the read key of the LM or send “RD command” from the PC.

2 Transmit the saved data to the PC. 3

Press the print button (or export button ) or send “SD command” from the PC.

• The icon indication differs depending on the parameter settings. For details, refer to each
operator’s manual.

3 As the PC receives measured data, it displays the data on the screen or saves it to
a floppy disk.
Therefore, the PC needs a program that sends or receives these “commands“ or “data”, and
analyzes, displays or saves the received “data”.

In this manner, the operator can choose the following options for data transmission and reception: To
perform automatic data transmission with the operation buttons on the LM, to use the PC to give all
the commands to the LM from the data storage to data transmission, and to use the operation buttons
on the LM and the PC in combination.

51
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Communication Control Signals (DTR Output to DSR Input)

3.2 Communication Control Signals (DTR Output to DSR Input)

The communication control method when the Com mode parameter is set to “NIDEK” is described.
To transmit and received “Command” and/or “Data”, it is necessary to connect the DSR (Data Set
Ready) and DTR (Data Terminal Ready) wires as well as the TXD (Transmit eXchange Data) and
RXD (Received eXchange Data) wires. (Also see “2.1.2 Cable connection” (page 6).
The DTR-to-DSR wire allows both devices to know if the other device is ready for communication. If
one device is ready for communication, it sends “DTR = ON” to the other device. If one device is not
ready for communication during printout by the LM or the processing of the previous data by the PC, it
sends “DTR = OFF” to the other device to allows the other device to know the status of one device.
The status of the other device is judged by ON or OFF of “DSR”. In this way, undesired communica-
tion troubles can be prevented.

The figure below shows the changes in the DTR signals when the PC sends “SD command” and the
LM sends “Data” back in response to the command.

(Time out when T1, T2 > 0.1 sec.)

1) Both the PC and LM are “out of communication”. The DTR signal of both devices is
“OFF”.
2) The PC enables DTR (ON) to send “Command” to the LM.

52
 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Communication Control Signals (DTR Output to DSR

3) Because DTR is not enabled (ON) on the LM even after 0.1 seconds or more, the PC ter-
minates communication by disabling DTR (OFF). In this way, if DTR is not enabled (ON)
on the other device, one device judges that the other device is not ready for communica-
tion and terminates communication for a moment. The waiting time until the other device
enables DTR (ON) (or the time period from when DTR is enabled (ON) to the transmis-
sion of data or commands) shall be 0.1 second. The LM and PC program shall be
designed to send a response to the other device within 0.1 seconds if it is ready for com-
munication.
4) Again, the PC enables DTR (ON) to send “Command” to the LM.
5) The LM enables DTR (ON) in response to the command from the PC.
6) When the PC confirms that the DTR on the LM is enabled (ON), the PC sends “Com-
mand” to the LM.
7) After sending the command to the LM, the PC is put into the wait state to wait for “Data” 3
from the LM.
To allow the LM to send data, the PC shall keep enabling DTR (ON). If the PC is not ready for
instant reception, it may make the LM wait for 0.1 seconds by disabling DTR (OFF) once. After the
lapse of 0.1 seconds, a timeout occurs in the LM and the LM terminates communication.

The LM analyzes “Command” from the PC and prepares for “Data” to be sent.

8) The LM checks if DTR is enabled (ON) on the PC and sends “Data”.

When DTR is disabled (OFF), the LM waits for 0.1 seconds for the PC to enable DTR (ON). If the
DTR is disabled on the PC, the LM disables DTR (OFF) and terminates communication.

9) The LM produces two beeps at the completion of transmission of “Data”, and disables
DTR (OFF) after the PC disables DSR (OFF). (Because there are cases where “CL com-
mand” is sent from the PC subsequently).
10)The PC disables DTR (OFF) when the PC receives “EOT” at the end of “Data” from the
LM.
11)After the termination of communication, both the PC and LM are placed in the same state
as 1).

Note 1) The control process of the DTR signal is needed when the Com mode parameter is set to
“NIDEK”.
When the Com mode parameter is set to “PC”, the LM ignores the DTR signal on the PC.
Because the control and check processes of 4), 5), 9), and 10) can be omitted, a communica-
tion program for the PC can be written easily. Because the LM does not confirm the status of
DTR on the PC even before sending data, the PC should ready for the reception of “Data” just
after the transmission of “Command”.
(The LM enables DTR (ON) at the same time when the PC enables DTR on condition that the
LM is sending data or it is ready for communication.)

53
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Communication Control Signals (DTR Output to DSR Input)

Note 2)If the Com mode parameter is set to “NIDEK”, be sure not to leave the DTR signal enabled
(ON).
In 10) of the above example, unless the PC disables DTR (OFF), the LM misjudges that the PC
will send the next “Command” etc. (State (4)) As a result, the LM enables DTR (ON) where it
keeps waiting for “Command”. Although this operation of the LM causes no problems, do not
allow the PC to misjudge that the DTR is enabled (ON) on the LM.
If the PC is put into the wait state to wait for “Data” from the LM (State (7)), both the PC and LM
are put into the “wait sate”, which appears to the operator that the PC program is stalled.
“OPEN sentences” in BASIC language etc. automatically enables DTR (ON). Therefore, it is
necessary to control DTR by disabling DTR with “OUT sentences” etc. after that.
Note 3) If the Com mode parameter is set to “NCP10”, the LM ignores the DTR signal on the PC. In
addition, the LM does not send nor receive commands. The transmission of measured data is
enabled by pressing the print button (or export button ) of the LM. Constantly
place the PC in a state where it can receive measured data.

 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Actual Communications

3.3 Actual Communications

(1) Setting the PC

Set the parameters related to an RS-232C interface on the PC in accordance with the
descriptions in “2.1 Basic Interface Specifications” (page 3).
For the procedure for setting parameters, refer to the LM-1800P/LM-1800PD operator’s
manual. It is allowed that the parameters are set by the communication program.

(2) Writing a communication program for the PC

Write a communication program for exchanging command and data with the LM.

3
(3) Setting the LM
Set the parameters related to the RS-232C interface on the LM in accordance with “2.1
Basic Interface Specifications” (page 3) to conform them to the settings on the PC.

(4) Connecting an interface cable

Connect the PC and LM with an interface cable that conforms to the description of “2.1.2
Cable connection” (page 6).

(5) Execution of communication

Communications are started and controlled by the communication program on the PC.
There are three types of processes for the PC to receive measured data:
• The LM requests the PC to receive measured data.
• The external PC requests the LM to send measured data.
• The PC controls all the operations of the LM: Measurement o Storage o Transmission of measured
data.

55
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Actual Communications

3.3.1 The LM requests the PC to receive measured data

Procedure for transmitting measured data to the PC by pressing the print button (or export but-
ton ):

After saving the measured data by pressing the read key of the LM, press the print
1 LMo button.
The LM enables DTR (ON) and waits for a response from the PC.

2 mCOM The PC confirms that DSR is enabled (= DTR of the LM) (ON) and enables DSR (ON).

When the LM enables DSR (=DTR of the PC) (ON), it sends “RS command” to the PC to
3 LMo
request the PC to send “SD command”.

When the PC receives “RS command”, it sends “SD command” and requests the LM to
4 mCOM
send “measured data”.

When the LM receives “SD command”, it sends “measured data”. After the completion of
5 LMo transmission, the LM disables DTR (OFF) after confirming that DSR has been disabled
(OFF).

The PC receives “measured data”. After receiving “EOT” at the end of the character
6 oCOM
string, the PC should disable DTR (OFF).

7 LM The LM clears the measured data.

56
 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Actual Communications

3.3.2 The PC requests the LM to send measured data

Procedure for transmitting measured data saved by the actuation of the read key of the LM by control-
ling the measured data from the PC:

1 LMo Press the read key of the LM to save measured data.

2 mCOM The PC enables DTR (ON) to let the LM know that it is starting communication.

When the LM confirms that DSR (= DTR of the PC) is enabled (ON), it enables DTR (On)
3 LMo
to wait for “Command” from the PC.

When the PC conforms that DSR (=DTR of the LM) is enabled (ON), it sends “SD
4 mCOM
command” to request the LM to send “measured data”.

When the LM receives “SD command”, it sends “measured data”. After the transmission 3
5 LMo
of data, the LM disables DTR (OFF) after confirming that DSR is enabled (OFF).

The PC receives “measured data ”. After receiving “EOT” at the end of the character
6 oCOM
string, the PC should disable DTR (OFF).

If necessary, after receiving “EOT”, the PC leaves DTR enabled (ON) and sends “CL
7 mCOM
command”. After sending the command, the PC disables DTR (OFF).

8 LMm When receiving “CL command”, the LM clears measured data.

Note) If the PC does not send “CL command” in step 7, the measured data remains in the LM even
after transmission. By repeating the steps 2 to 6, the PC can receive the same data again.

57
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Actual Communications

3.3.3 The PC controls all the operations of the LM

Procedure for the PC to control the entire process: Measurement o Storage of measured data o
Transmission of measured data:

1 LM Place a lens on the nosepiece of the LM to put the LM into the measuring state.

2 mCOM The PC enables DTR (ON) to let the LM know that it is starting communication.

When the LM confirms that DSR (=DTR of the PC) is enabled (ON), it enables DTR (ON)
3 LMo
and waits for “Command” from the PC.

When the PC confirms that DSR (=DTR of the LM) is enabled (ON), it sends “RD
4 mCOM
command” to request the LM to “save measured data”.

5 LMm When the LM receives “RD command”, it saves the measured data.

The PC sends “SD command” to request the LM to send “measured data” after waiting
6 mCOM
for about 0.1 seconds until the LM saves measured data.

After receiving “SD command”, the LM sends “measured data”. After the transmission
7 LMo
and confirmation that DSR has been disabled (OFF), the LM disables DTR (OFF).

The PC receives “measured data”. After receiving “EOT” at the end of the character
8 oCOM
string, the PC should disable DTR (OFF).

If necessary, after the reception of “EOT”, the PC leaves DTR enabled (ON) and sends
9 mCOM
“CL command”. After transmission, the PC disables DTR (OFF).

10 LMm After receiving “CL command”, the LM clears measured data.

To measure the next lens and receive measured data subsequently, the PC should clear
the former data by sending “CL command” in 9. and 10. After placing the next lens on the
11 mCOM nosepiece, the PC should wait for more than 0.5 seconds until the lens is measured
(until the measured data is displayed on the screen after the former data is cleared) and
repeat the process from 2.

Note) If the PC sends “RD command” without waiting for the completion of measurement in 11, the
LM does not accept “RD command”.

 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Example of Communication Program

3.4 Example of Communication Program

The communication program on the PC should be written to handle such processes as described
in “3.3 Actual Communications” (page 55). In this section, an example of communication program
is provided for reference.

3.4.1 Communication Program

A sample program for data communication to be installed to the PC is provided on the page after
the next page. BASIC is used as a programming language.

In this example, the Com mode parameter on the LM should be set to “NIDEK”. Because commu-
nication data input sentences in the BASIC language need “CR code”, the CR code parameter
should be set to On. 3

Baud rate 9600 (bps)

Parity (Parity check) Odd

Data bits 8bit

Stop bits 1bit

CR code On

1 Line 1000 to 1290: When the LM requests the PC to receive measured data:
For using the print button (or export button ) to send measured data to the PC
<Procedure>
1) Enter the sample program. Connect the PC to the LM with the communication cable in
advance.
2) Type “RUN”, and press the Enter key to execute the program.
3) As the “Let’s Measure !!” message is displayed on the screen, measure a lens with the
LM and press the read key to save measured data.
4) Press the print button (or export button ).
5) The data is transmitted to the PC and the received data is displayed on the screen.

2 Line 2000 to 2260: When the external PC requests the LM to send measured data:
For controlling the PC to make the LM to send the measured data that has been saved by
the actuation of the read key.

59
COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Example of Communication Program

< Procedure >

1) Enter the sample program. Connect the PC to the LM with the communication cable in
advance.
2) Type “RUN 2000” and press the Enter key to execute the program.
3) As the “Let’s Measure !!” message is displayed on the screen, measure a lens with the
LM and press the read key to save measured data.
4) Press any key of the PC.
5) The data is transmitted and the received data is displayed on the screen.

3 Line 3000 to 3310: When the PC controls all the operations of the LM:
For making the PC control the entire processes: Measurement o Storage o Transmission
of measured data o Clearing of measured data
< Procedure >
1) Enter the sample program. Connect the PC to the LM with the continuation cable in
advance.
2) Type “RUN 3000” and press the Enter key to execute the program.
3) As the “Let's Measure !!” message is displayed on the screen, measure a lens with the
LM.
It is unnecessary to press the read key.

4) Press any key of the PC.

5) The data is transmitted and the received data is displayed on the screen.
6) After the transmission of data, the measured data in the LM is cleared.

Note 1) Lines 1100, 2110, and 3130 in the sample program have a command to open the RS-
232C port and to enable DTR (ON). In addition, lines 1210, 2180 and 3230 have a com-
mand to disable the RS-232C port and to disable DTR.
To enable DTR (ON) only, write as line 1140; to disable DTR (OFF) only, write as line 1110.
To check DSR, write as lines 1130, 2120, and 3140.
The address/data of the INP/OUT commands is for PC-9800 series. For the IBM (DOS/V)
compatibles, write as:
DTR ON: OUT &H3FC,&HB
DTR OFF: OUT &H3FC,&HA
CHECK: (INP(&H3FE) AND &H20)=&H0, DTR=OFF

Note 2) Lines 1280, 2250, 3160 and 3300 in the sample program are for allowing for time before
the next line is executed. The time varies according to the execution speed of the PC.
Understand the role of each line and change the number of “?” in “FOR I=1 TO ?????” as
necessary.
Line 1280 and Line 2250:Pause for the repeated execution of the program until DTR is disabled
(OFF) on the LM and communications are completed. 0.2 seconds or
more
Line 3160: Pause until the LM receives “RD command” and saves measured data.
0.1 seconds or more

60
 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURE (other than NCP20)Example of Communication Program

Line 3300: Pause until the LM receives “CL command”, clears measured data and
completes the next measurement. 0.5 to 1 second or more
Reference) If the Com mode parameter is set to “PC” on the LM, the control/check process of
DTR becomes unnecessary; delete lines 1110, 1130, 1140, 2120, and 3140 in the
sample program.

4.3 Error Sequence

Error or Abort can be sent instead of Accept in response to Request or Data.

Error is sent to request data resending when the contents of Request or Data are not correct or
checksum error occurs. Abort is sent to forcibly abort the communication sequence.
Set the time-out period for following 4 types of T.O. error.

(1) Time-out for response to request Request response T.O.

Time-out for response to the first request (data sending or receiving request). Set the time-
out period short considering that there are no opponent instruments.
T.O. range: 0.1 to 10 seconds (Initial setting: 2 seconds)

(2) Time-out for receiving data Receive T.O.

Set the time-out period for receiving all the data or character (in the case of serial communi-
cation).
T.O. range: 1 to 100 seconds (Initial setting: 10 seconds)

(3) Time-out for response Response T.O.

Set the time-out period for response in the case other than (1)
T.O. range: 0.1 to 10 seconds (Initial setting: 2 seconds)

(4) Time-out for receiving “Request to send” after reception of “Accept to Receive” Re-
request receive T.O.
T.O. range: 0.1 to 10 seconds (Initial setting: 2 seconds)

When an error occurs, perform the retry for times set in the application. If the error still ocuurs, forcibly
shut down the communication.
Number of retry: 0 to 5 (Initial setting: 3 times)

Have the optional USB cable (31020-0100, provided with the USB driver) handy.
The procedure varies depending on the operating system of the PC.

• The pre-installed standard Windows USB driver (usbser.sys or serenum.sys) is used. This
driver provides virtual COM port. After the installation, the USB Serial Ports Driver (COM*)
wil be added to the port of the device manager. Even when the OS is compatible, if the
standard USB driver is uninstalled, the USB drive may not be functional.
If necessary restore the standard USB driver to the PC before performing “Instalation of the USB
driver”.
The distributed media does not include the standard USB driver. Contact your PC customer ser-
vice for the restoration process of the USB driver.

6.3 Confirmation and Setting of Receiver PC

6.3.1 Reception structure of measured data

Measured data transmitted from the LM-1800P/LM-1800PD is captured by the receiver PC as
shown in the illustration below.

Receiver PC

Filing software
Transmission of measured
data from the device via LAN
Database

Shared folder

XM L Extraction and storage of

measured data
Measured data

Measured data transmitted via LAN are written in the shared folder set in the receiver PC. Then,
measured data is extracted by filing software such as NAVIS, and saved in the database.

6.3.2 Setting the shared folder

Set up a shared folder to save measured data transmitted from the LM-1800P/LM-1800PD.

• Do not set measured data to be saved in an external storage such as an external hard disk.
• Be sure no shared folders have the same name.
The device cannot discern the folder and measured data cannot be transmitted properly.
ex.) “C:\TEMP\DATA” and “C:\ProgramFiles\DATA”: Folder name “DATA” is common.
Change the name of either folder to “C:\TEMP\ARK” to avoid repeated file names.
* This is only when set as a shared folder.

The shared folder (folder path) specified here is set in the parameter of the device and software
(such as NAVIS) of the receiver PC.

86

6.4.3 Response to data acquisition

There are two device modes. One is to write data to the shared folder and the other is to confirm
data reception.
Data acquisition is checked by the device monitoring that the XML file of measurement data is no
longer present. On the receiving end, after a data file is produced, the existing data is read out
and deleted or renamed.
The device indicates an error if the XML file remains present after 5 seconds of file writing (The
duration of the time error can be set between 1 to 60 seconds in the parameter setting.)

6.4.4 XML file configuration

Tags for data which have not been measured are not output. For example, when only the right
eye is measured, there are no left-eye tags.
Regardless of the print format and communication format of the parameter, all output-enabled
data are output.

6.4.5 Style sheet

XML files are supported by a style sheet. They cannot be displayed in Internet Explorer without
style sheet files (NIDEK_LM_Stylesheet.xsl) in the LM folder. (Use a text editor to check the con-
tents.)
When there is no NIDEK_LM_Stylesheet.xsl file in the LM folder, it is automatically produced
when measurement data is received. An existing NIDEK_LM_Stylesheet.xsl file is not overwritten.
Please note that when the style sheet is changed from the device, that style sheet does not
become the new style sheet unless the existing NIDEK_LM_Stylesheet.xsl file is manually
deleted.
Creating a unique style sheet in the LM folder allows data to be displayed in a format as desired.
