For the communication pattern of startup instrument 14, disconnect and from instrument 14 removal tool power supply, for example portable battery pack from power end 22a and 22b.Then, at power end 22a and 22b data transfer equipment 18 is connected to instrument 14.As mentioned above, data transfer equipment 18 or the connector 18b that is connected to described data transfer equipment 18 are similar with the instrument power supply of removing from instrument 14 in shape, so that it can easily be connected to battery pack socket 19.Therefore, data transfer equipment 18, perhaps connector 18b is inserted in the socket 19 of instrument 14 and in the mode identical with the instrument power supply and is connected to power end 22a and 22b.When data transfer equipment 18 or connector 18b were connected to power end 22a and 22b, circuit power 54 was to 26 power supplies of first telecommunication circuit.
Voltage conversion apparatus 58 and 2 controls of second resistor R output to the voltage of first telecommunication circuit 26 from second communication circuit 30.Therefore, the electric current from 30 outputs of second communication circuit will be affected according to the variation of being exported by the voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 and 2 controls of second resistor R.In addition, can control, thereby influence is by the variation of the voltage of second communication circuit 30 outputs from the electric current of second communication circuit 30 outputs.In a preferred form, voltage conversion apparatus 58 and second resistor R 2 control voltage and/or electric currents are so that the electric power that is provided by second communication circuit 30 is enough to start the operation of microcontroller 34.In addition, pressurizer 38 is regulated the voltage that is provided to microcontroller 34.The electric power that is provided by second communication circuit 30 is enough to start the operation of microcontroller 34, but is not enough to drive motor 24.Therefore, when instrument is in when data transfer equipment 18 is connected to the communication pattern of instrument 14, motor 24 is with inoperation.In addition, second communication circuit 30 can provide enough electric power with excitation microcontroller 34 and motor 24 both.In this enforcement, if programming microcontroller 34 then suspends transfer of data so that activate instrument 14 when communication pattern.
In case started the operation of microcontroller 34, microcontroller 34 or data can be sent to data reader 66 perhaps receives the data that transmitted by second communication circuit 30 or both all can.Best system 10 is suitable for two-way communication.In this embodiment, for data being sent to data reader 66, second communication circuit 30 is to microcontroller 34 inquiry data.Then, microcontroller 34 begins pulsation ground adjusting port 34a between high impedance and Low ESR sequentially with predetermined data communication mode.For example, the pulsation mode of port 34a can have the serial ascii data form in specific baud rate pulsation.Pulsation mode constitutes will be sent to the data of data reader 66 from microcontroller 34.The pulsation of the order of port 34a causes that the voltage at first resistor R, 1 two ends changes between first voltage and second voltage with identical sequential system.For example, the voltage at first resistor R, 1 two ends with and the same sequence mode of port 34a pulsation between 0 volt and 5 volts, change.The conversion of the voltage at first resistor R, 1 two ends causes that the electric current that flows to first telecommunication circuit 26 from second communication circuit 30 changes between first value and second value.Therefore, cause that from the switching current of second communication circuit 30 to first telecommunication circuits 26 voltage that is provided to first telecommunication circuit 26 by second communication circuit 30 changes first level and second level.
More specifically, will be from the electric current of voltage conversion apparatus 58 outflows and second resistor R 2 of flowing through with the sequential system identical with the pulsation of port 34a, conversion between first value and second value.The variable-current of second resistor R 2 of flowing through causes voltage sequence alternate between first voltage and second voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends conversely.The sequence alternate voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends also will have the sequential system identical with the pulsation of port 34a.Difference channel 70 becomes digital signal with the variation voltage transitions at second resistor R, 2 two ends, and this digital signal is relevant with the switching of voltage between first and second magnitudes of voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends.This digital signal is represented the data by microcontroller 34 transmission.
For example, when port 34a is in high impedance, do not have electric current to flow through first resistor R 1 basically, thereby make the electric current that flows through second resistor R 2 produce first voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends.Therefore, difference channel 70 outputs are corresponding to the digital signal of first voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends, for example digital low signal.Then, when port 34a is pulled to Low ESR, electric current will flow through first resistor R 1, and the electric current that causes flowing through second resistor R 2 changes.Therefore, the electric current by second resistor R 2 makes the voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends change into second voltage.The variation of the pressure drop at difference channel 70 inductions second resistor R 2 two ends, and output is corresponding to the signal of second voltage, as digital high level signal.Therefore, switch according to the order of the impedance at port 34a place and between first and second voltages during sequence alternate, the output signal of difference channel 70 order between high signal of numeral and low signal is switched when the voltage at second resistor R, 2 two ends.Therefore, the numeral of difference channel 70 output expression is sent to the serial data stream of data transfer equipment 18 from instrument 14.
Then, will be input to data reader 66 from the digital signal of difference channel 70.Data reader 66 digital signal is interpreted as serial data stream and with storage in memory devices 74.In a preferred embodiment, memory devices 74 is included in the data reader 66.In addition, memory devices 74 can be in the outside of data reader 66.In addition, if data reader 66 is the external computer device such as kneetop computer, then this external computer device will preferably include and be used to store the memory of data that transmits from microcontroller 34.
For data are sent to instrument 14 from data transfer equipment 18, second communication circuit 30 sends and will send the signal of data to microcontroller 34 from second communication circuit 30 to microcontroller 34.Then, microprocessor 36 command voltage conversion equipments 58 are sequentially changed the voltage by voltage conversion apparatus 58 outputs between first magnitude of voltage and second magnitude of voltage according to predetermined data-transmission mode, thereby expression is with the data that transmit.For clarity and brevity, be called V1 and V2 at these first and second voltage output values with voltage conversion apparatus 58.The voltage transitions pattern can comprise to specify serial ascii data form or any other data transmission format of baud rate conversion.
Changing voltage by voltage conversion apparatus 58 outputs drives pressurizer 38 so that to microcontroller 34 power supplies.Therefore, pressurizer 38 has the ability of the input voltage of the certain limit accepted.When the output voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 is in V1 or V2, in the time of perhaps between V1 and the V2, start microcontroller 34 fully.First output voltage V 1 is enough to power up, and promptly starts microcontroller 34, but is not enough to the operation of actuating motor 24.Similarly, second output voltage V 2 is enough to power up microcontroller 34, but is not enough to the operation of actuating motor 24.Also will be input to voltage transitions testing circuit 42 by the order changing voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 outputs.Voltage transitions testing circuit 24 is exported the voltage signal of changing again between first level and second level.Follow the tracks of translative mode by the voltage signal of the conversion of voltage transitions testing circuit 42 output by the voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 outputs.From the voltage signal of voltage transitions testing circuit 42 output can be numeral or simulation, and be input to microcontroller 34 at port 34b.Microcontroller 34 signal interpretation of conversion in proper order is serial data stream and takes suitable action.For example, microcontroller 34 can be with storage in memory devices 46, or microcontroller can be carried out some actions by data command.
Voltage transitions testing circuit 42 can be to be suitable for any circuit that output voltage with voltage conversion apparatus 58 is modulated to the level that is suitable for being input to microcontroller 34.In a preferred embodiment, voltage transitions testing circuit 42 comprises resitstance voltage divider, as shown in Figure 3.In this embodiment, voltage transitions testing circuit 42 comprises the first voltage transitions resistor R Vs1With the second voltage transitions resistor R Vs2At the voltage of node A input from voltage conversion apparatus 58 outputs.Read R at a B Vs2The voltage drop at two ends also is input to the port 34b of microcontroller 34.For example, if Rvs1 is 62K ohm, R Vs2Change between 25V and 7V for the output voltage of 10K ohm and changing voltage conversion equipment 58, then the signal at Node B place will be changed between 3.5V and 0.5V.Therefore, the voltage signal from 42 outputs of voltage transitions testing circuit is suitable for being input to microcontroller 34.Can read the signal at Node B place and be interpreted as digital signal or analog signal by microcontroller 34.
Fig. 4 example has illustrated another preferred embodiment of the voltage transitions testing circuit 42 that comprises the voltage subtraction circuit.In this embodiment, voltage transitions testing circuit 42 comprises Zener diode D Vs1With the voltage transitions resistor R Vs3Zener diode D Vs1As the voltage subtracter.Import at node A from the voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 output, be lowered then and output to microcontroller 34 at the Node B place with the magnitude of voltage that is suitable for being input to microcontroller 34.For example, if D Vs1Be 10V Zener diode, R Vs3Be simple resistor, and the output voltage of voltage conversion apparatus 58 changes between 13.5V and 10.5V, then the signal of Node B place output will be changed between 3.5V and 0.5V.Can read the signal at Node B place and be interpreted as analog or digital.
Fig. 5 example has illustrated and has comprised another preferred embodiment that is used at the Node B place to the voltage transitions testing circuit 42 of the comparator C 1 of microcontroller 34 output digital signals.In this embodiment, except comparator C 1, voltage transitions testing circuit 42 also comprises the voltage transitions resistor R Vs4With the voltage transitions resistor R Vs5Comparator C 1 has fixing Voltage Reference V in its anti-phase input VefWith and noninverting input be connected the voltage transitions resistor R Vs4And R Vs5Between.According to the order translative mode of the voltage of exporting from voltage conversion apparatus 58, between logic-high signal and logic-low signal, change from the voltage signal of comparator C 1 output.For example, if R Vs4Be 25K ohm, R Vs5Be 10K ohm, V RefBe 2.5V, and the output voltage V 1 of voltage conversion apparatus 58 is 8V, then the signal of Node B place output will be in logic low.Yet if the output voltage V of voltage conversion apparatus 58 2 is 9V or higher, Node B will be in logic high.Therefore, from voltage conversion apparatus 58 output at V1 and V2, for example 8V and 9V or higher between the voltage of conversion produce corresponding pulse train at the Node B place.Read and explain this digital signal by microcontroller 34 at port 34b place.In another preferred embodiment, comparator C 1 is not included in the voltage transitions testing circuit 42, but is included in the microcontroller 34.
