In a Kiosk system, a server-based configuration allows for wired uploading of episodic
patient data from episodic devices. After episodic tests are taken on patients, the device
is connected to the Kiosk using a USB connection, and the episodic test results are
uploaded. The Kiosk can be installed on any networked PC that is not acting as the
Connex CS server or central station.

Connex viewer is a client application that provides a means of tracking the flow of
patient vitals sign data from an episodic device to the Connex server and through to the
Electronic Medical Record (EMR). This application displays filtered lists of patients and
vital signs, and allows an administrator, biomed, or nurse manager to select what subset
of data to view. This is intended to help diagnose any workflow, networking, or
configuration issues that might prevent patient data from reaching the EMR.
