HP Medical Archive Solution manual Data Types

File and Message Format

•Do not have delimiters (no commas or spaces) between attributes

•Terminated by a carriage return and line feed (<CR><LF>)

Each element includes: an attribute code, data type, and value. It takes the format:

[ATTR(type):value][ATTR(type):value]...

[ATTR(type):value]<CR><LF>

Where:

•ATTR is a four-character code for the attribute being reported. See Chapter 3, starting on page 11 for a directory of message attributes and their meaning.

•type is a four-character identifier of the programming data type of the value, such as: UI64, FC32, and so on. See “Data Types” on the next page. The type is enclosed in brackets “( )”.

•value is the content of the attribute, typically a numeric or text value (text values are enclosed in single quotes). Values always follow a colon “:”.

The number of attribute elements in the message depends on the event type of the message.
