# Mock analyzer

> Use the local mock analyzer for safe integration training and validation.

The mock analyzer is a local development and training tool. It communicates only with OIE, never directly with HMIS.

## Supported modes

* HTTP JSON for result-API troubleshooting.
* ASTM/TCP for analyzer-style result transmission.
* HL7 ORU^R01 over MLLP, including receipt of an `MSA|AA` acknowledgement.

## Test flow

1. Dispatch a new specimen in HMIS.
2. Scan or enter its specimen barcode in the mock analyzer.
3. Query the OIE-backed worklist.
4. Enter only the mapped test results shown in the worklist.
5. Transmit using ASTM or HL7.
6. Confirm the result/audit entry in HMIS.

Use **Repeat message** only to deliberately test idempotency. Never reuse a message ID with changed result contents.
