Description

This application is designed to show all the available pump data in a visual version that mimics the one on iPhone and in tables that can be exported to Microsoft Excel or the Clipboard.

Some data is filtered out by default because I could not see any use for it. You can turn off filters from Options Menu. but performance will suffer.

Known Issue for developers only

For the visualization layer I use the open source System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization library https://GitHub.com/Kirsan31/WinForms-DataVisualization

• If you get the error below

"System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: 'Configuration system failed to initialize'" will need to edit CareLink\src\CareLink\bin\Debug\net7.0-windows\CareLink.dll.config and remove the following lines
