Intellivue Data Acquisition

Intellivue Project: The project requires that the Philips-Intellivue project which can be found at: [login to view URL] be modified so that the capture application of the solution (‘[login to view URL]’) acquires data via a standard RS232 comport rather than the LAN. RS232 Port Settings: According to Philips: “Each transmitted byte consists of one start bit, 8 data bits (no parity) and one stop bit. The baudrate can be set to 115kBit/s or 19.2kBit/s. Flow control is not supported (same behavior as UDP). The monitor limits the number of frames which will be processed in a given time. The monitor will process up to 4 frames within 128ms. If a client sends more frames, additional frames are ignored. (Implementation Note: the monitor allows 5 frames within 128ms, the additional frame is required because of possible jitter.) A client system must be able to handle the loss of messages, because the Fixed Baudrate Protocol does not guarantee the reliable transmission of messages.” The modified application must be developed in VS2015 and written in C#. According to the author of the original project (Chandan Maity), the task is a ‘trivial job’. The successful freelancer will not be required to spend time on a user interface. – The only modification to the existing interface will be the addition of a ‘COM PORT SELECTOR’ control which will be populated with the currently available serial ports. Preference will be given to freelancers who have experience with data acquisition from medical instruments.
