How to create ASTM Client

[AhSem]

Hi, may I have a sample code that initialize ASTM client and sending data?

Thank you,

I can guide. I have tried it for Erba XL-640 biochemistry analyser
Adapt it to your need

create a folder 'erba' in /usr/lib/python3.7/astm/astm
there will be two files in the /usr/lib/python3.7/astm/astm/erba folder

root@debian:/usr/lib/python3.7/astm/astm# ls erba -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 975 Nov 3 22:02 erbaserver.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26 Nov 3 11:40 __init__.py

==== __init__.py ========
from . import erbaserver

==== erbaserver.py ======

from .. import server
print (dir(server))

class Dispatcher(server.BaseRecordsDispatcher):
    sample_id=''
    def __init__(self, encoding=None):
        server.BaseRecordsDispatcher.__init__(self, encoding=None)
        
    def on_result(self, record):
        print('RESULT:',record)
        print ('update examination set result=\''+record[3]+'\' where code=\''+record[2][3]+'\' and sample_id=\''+self.sample_id+'\'')
    def on_header(self, record):
        print('HEADER:',record)

    def on_comment(self, record):
        print('COMMENT:',record)

    def on_patient(self, record):
        print('PATIENT:',record)

    def on_order(self, record):
        print('ORDER:',record)
        self.sample_id=record[2]
        
    def on_terminator(self, record):
        print('TERMINATOR:',record)
        self.sample_id=''	#to ensure that next result is preceded by non-zero sample_id in order record

    def on_unknown(self, record):
        print('UNKNOWN:',record)

=========================
In this way we have extended BaseRecordsDispatcher class for our own use

Lastly create following file at any place (change ip and port)

======myserver.py===========

#!/usr/bin/python3.7
import astm.astm.erba
s=astm.astm.server.Server(host='192.168.56.1', port=15200,
                 request=None, dispatcher=astm.astm.erba.erbaserver.Dispatcher,
                 timeout=None, encoding=None)
s.serve_forever()

=======Run server============
chmod +x myserver.py
./myserver.py

use appropriate python version declaration in each file
Connect client machine with appropriate id and port
Result and Query from erba XL-640 will be printed in terminal
This package is unidirectional only.
I am planning to convert it to bidirectional package
