Hi Imad,

Windows will work, but we suggest using Java 1.8 update 60. It seems to work best in that environment. I've included a link to the Java SE Development Kit 8 Archive page. It should take you directly to the SDK 8u60. Select the correct download for your specific OS. Update your Java environment for jdk 1.8.60.

To simulate a medical device:

1) start the OpenICE application and click "Start ICE_Supervisor" in the bottom right corner of the window.

2) when the main window opens you will see two primary panels, "Applications" on the left and "Devices assigned to <Unassigned>" on the right. Under the right panel you will see a button "Create an ICE Device Adapter...", click it.

3) a new window will pop up. In the first drop down menu select "Simulated" if it isn't already selected, then pick a device you would like to simulate. Click "Start <device>" when it appear in the bottom right corner of the window to begin simulating data from the selected device.

4) you will see the simulated device in the "Devices assigned to <Unassigned>" panel.

5) click on the device to see the data it is simulating, then click "Exit App" in the bottom right corner of the window to return to the main window.

6) you can do 2 through 4 again to add more simulated devices to your ICE supervisor.

Hello,

A list of OpenICE compatible devices can be found here:

https://www.openice.info/docs/4_device-adapter-setup.html

You can access that page by following the link or navigating to openice.info and selecting "Device-Adapter Setup" form the "Docs" drop down menu located at the top of the page.

To get started with a physical medical device instead of one of our simulators, I would suggest looking into purchasing a Nonin Onyx II pulse oximeter. They are wireless and will provide you with a couple data points to feed into the ICE supervisor. You can find these on ebay or go directly through a Nonin Sales Rep.

I hope this helps!
