COBAS Host Simulator 1.4

COBAS Host Simulator is a testing and validation tool designed to emulate a laboratory host/LIS connection for cobas analyzers. It enables interface engineers and lab IT teams to verify connectivity, exercise order-to-result workflows, and troubleshoot integration issues without using a live instrument. The simulator can be configured to mirror real-world communication settings, exchange test orders and results, and observe acknowledgments and retries to ensure end-to-end reliability before go‑live.

Key capabilities:

• Emulates a host connection for cobas instruments to validate bidirectional messaging
• Supports common laboratory messaging formats (for example, ASTM or HL7) and typical serial or TCP/IP setups
• Provides detailed, timestamped logs and message inspection for rapid diagnostics
• Offers error‑injection and edge‑case scenarios to test resilience and recovery
• Allows reusable test scripts and scenario playback for regression and training
• Exports logs and transcripts to support documentation and compliance needs

Use it to shorten implementation timelines, reduce downtime during interface changes, and give teams a safe, isolated environment to test mappings, acknowledgments, and workflow logic before touching production systems.
