This package provides a command line for interfacing systems to SENAITE LIMS across the serial RS-232 communications port.
This interface is compliant with the industry supported standard CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, formerly NCCLS) LIS1-A "Specification for Low-Level Protocol to Transfer Messages Between Clinical Laboratory Instruments and Computer Systems", a revision of ASTM E1381-02.
However, this tool is meant to be generic enough so it can be extended with other communication protocols and standards.
This command line tool works together with senaite.lis2a, an add-on that enables the reception and interpretation of CLSI LIS2-A2 messages for SENAITE LIMS.
