Introduction

This project provides reference implementations of readers for the Philips Sierra ECG XML format (v. 1.03, 1.04, and 1.04.01), specifically focusing on the XLI compression format used.

API

Currently there are sample libraries for:

• C/C++
• C#
• Java
• NodeJS
• Amazon AWS Lambda + API Gateway (via JAWS)

Examples

There are currently integration examples for:

• C/C++
• C#
• Java
• Matlab/Octave

Building

There are no required compilers for these projects, however, currently only the following has been tested:

• C/C++: Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012, clang (LLVM 5.1)
• C# (.Net 2.0, .Net 4.0/4.5): Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2013
• Java: JDK 1.6+ with JAXB support
• Node.js: node v0.10.29+, v4.0.0+
• Octave: 3.6.0+

Contributing

Sample XML files from various Philips devices would help ensure robustness of the underlying API. To contribute source code please review CONTRIBUTING.md.
