COMMUNICATION P QGIC DATA RE NI CONNECT
Johannes H. van Oostrom, Anthony J. Courtemanche, Samsun Lampotangl · 1996
We designed and developed a communication protocol (MedCOM) specifically designed to transmit physiologic data over modem connections. MedCOM uses data packets of variable length, a checksum, and a positive acknowledge algorithm for reliability. MedCOM was tested with data generated by the Loral/UF Human Patient Siinulator over a telephone link between Gainesville, FL and Orlando, FL. Link interruption tests show that MedCOM is reliable and that it has the ability to resynchronize a connection when synchronization is lost.
