HL7Sender is a utility for sending HL7 messages through the network.
It is a single form application that can read, write, validate, convert to XML and send HL7 messages.
The upper part of the form shows the message in a rich text control where it can be edited.
Every HL7 segment starts in a new line. The best way to edit the message is to cut and paste segments from other messages (you can open multiple instances of the program) or fill text between two | signs (field separator).
At the lower part of the form there are a few text fields where the user can set the LLP network protocol elements, the TCP/IP protocol attributes (destination host name or IP address, port number and timeouts) and disable or enable ACK’s.
The two message structure text configuration files (segDefs and msgRules) are located in the installation folder and can be edited manually if necessary. You can duplicate these files with different suffixes in order to use multiple ‘flavors’ of the HL7 version.
