Step 1 - Data Acquisition |
Before you can create your VMD file and your channel, you must acquire some sample data. Here are some ways to acquire this data:
- Obtain messages from the originator by email;
- Use the HL7 Listener to listen on a network port, retrieve HL7 messages, and log them to a text file;
- Use some of the sample messages provided with Chameleon.
In this tutorial, you will be using the following sample messages:
