I can but cite Richard Grier's
website (again) ...
The Philips Data Export protocol that conveys this data is complex, not well documented, and is not supported to any great extent by Philips. The Data Export Protocol is described in a 300+ page document that is convoluted, misleading, and incomplete. I spent about 600 hours working out the details required to implement this protocol in a Visual Studio .NET control. My original time estimate for this project was 40-80 hours. You might imagine how frustrating this project became over time! Regardless, I completed it, though far behind schedule.
Two or three month's work, just to get started?

This stuff is not trivial!
