John,
I'll be happy to share it with you. Your admonitions in the previous
e-mail are appropriate. The urine analyzer does not communicate in HL7.
I do have a bunch of code that is an HL7 parser for communication with
Quest diagnostics.
The analyzer has both a usb and serial port that communicates with a
printer with a simple ASCII data stream, no formatting. It should be a
simple task to catch the data and send it to our record.
I was not able to make Tony Lawrence's script to work on Fedora for some
reason, but it worked fine with Centos. I wanted to use Centos anyway,
so I have to do some moving of hardware etc to get things ready to test.
I'll keep you informed.
Thanks for your interest.
Greg
