ValidatePDU

NIST/ITL is collaborating with the ISO/IEEE 11073 Medical Device Communications working group in developing developing conformance tests and associated tools to provide the medical device industry with the necessary tools to ensure that critical devices properly implement the medical device standards. As part of this effort NIST has developed a tool called ValidatePDU, to validate the basic syntax and structure of messages.
