Functionalities

Enhanced syntax highlighter

Segment inspector

Gives a description of the segment and parses it.

Message Cleaner

Cleans an HL7 message from unwanted escape characters such as "^M". It also cleans every unnecessary "|" and "^" to improve readability.

Segment / Event search

Searches on Caristix web site the given segment (e.g. PID, OBX, ...) or event (e.g. ADT^A01, ADT_A04). Notice that events separated with both ^ and _ are valid searches.

Keyword Inspector

On double click shows the description of the message (e.g. ADT_A01) or the segment (e.g. PV1).
