Hello Jeff-

Does the MP70 driver also work for the MX800 or does it require a different driver? Our MP70's have software version E, so we're resorting to an MP30 with software version J. But we just got 3 MX800s so could use those if the driver is the same.

thanks,

Alistair

Hello again Jeff-

Thank you for all the support, it's been very helpful.  

We're currently testing our prototype music controller with an MP70 but are limited to a software version "E".  We have access to an Intellevue MP30 with software version "J" and when we connected to the LAN port it was streaming data.  Do you know if the MP70 driver works with the MP30 or any Intellevue MP model with software G-K?  

Also, we just received three MX800 monitors.  Would it be at all possible for us to get the device-driver for the MX800 in case we're not able to upgrade our software for our MP70s? 

Thank you again for all your help.

Best,
Alistair

Rado-

We recenting did some testing using offline Beaglebones and ran into a problem with DDS requiring a timestamp.  Not sure if this is related but, like you, we are hoping to avoid internet connections.

Jeff-  Great news that you have GE and Drager drivers in the works.  There actually aren't that many different types of anesthesia machines so, not to downplay the work involved, a complete set of drivers doesn't seem impossible.  I don't think I can attach the .pdf file here for Nihon Kohden's RS232 protocol so I'll send it an an email attachment.  (note: our new NK anesthesia machines require the purchase of an $800 interface to establish an RS232 port connection).

Here is a link to Mindray's DIAP protocol:

P.S> this isn't really a driver, but an open source program for numeric data from a Datex Cardiocap5:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3788264/
