SERIAL DATA CAPTURE AND PROCESSING

摘要

A method , and software interface enables serial data streams 170 to be trapped, parsed, tested for suitability for automated handling by a medication preparation system 110. Only those portions of the serial data stream 190 that are not suitable for such handling are released for printing and manual handling. A serial data interface includes a listener software module "LSM" 100 that receives serial data stream 170 and a parser software module "PSM" 100 communicatively connectable to the LSM on the serial data streams. A data structure results that enables data handling by an automated medication preparation system 110.
