Thank you for downloading this release of the ICSGenerator Version 1.0. The ICSGenerator version 1.0 is a tool designed to capture IEEE 1073 implementation conformance information as stated in the Data Information Model specification.
ICSGenerator 1.0 uses Java and XML Technologies. The following software is required:First unzip the ICSGENERATOR-1.0.ZIP file. This should create the following directories and files:
- Java 2 SDK (Version 1.4.2)
The generation process is driven by an input XML file containing the data information model. The default file is a complete representation of the data information model as prescribed in the IEEE 1073 DIM specification. To initiate the process select the XML file (data information model) you want to use as the initial model to specify your implementation conformance statements and support information.
The generation process is also driven by the type of Medical Device System (MDS) Object selected for the Medical Device Data Information Model, the current version of the ICSGenerator tool supports Hydra and Simple MDS.
At the top of the panel select:
"New" to start the process with the default instance of the data information model. This option is usually selected the first time you use the tool.
Or
"Reload" to start the process with a previous created version of the file.Select the MDS type to use:
"Simple" to represent a medical device that contains a single Virtual Medical Device (VMD) instance only (single purpose device).
Or
"Hydra" to represent a device that contains multiple VMD instances (multi-purpose device).
Once you have selected one of them a JTree representation of the loaded XML file should appear on the left hand of the screen. You can now select any of the Managed Object Classes (MOC) to see information such as Object_Id, Object_Name, Attributes, etc.
There are also two buttons below the JTree:
"Add MOC" to add a new Managed Object Class (MOC) to the tree
"Remove MOC" to remove MOC's from the tree
As you add or remove selected MOC's you should see the JTree changing to reflect the additions or removals of MOC's.
You can also add comments and restrictions for a MOC by typing data into the respective boxes and clicking on "Add Changes".Once you are done modifying the tree you can generate an XML representation of the JTree by clicking on the Generate button. The XML will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can also save the file by clicking on the Export XML file button.
