What is the IMC Proxy?

IMC (Inter-module communication) is a direct Module to Module communication developed by HIMSA to facilitate the process of fitting and measurement applications working directly together (Real Ear and Hearing Instrument Fitting).

Noah is NOT a part of the communication itself but only acts as a initiating broker to set up the communication from the initiating IMCClient (e.g. the fitting module) to the IMCServer (measurement module). Noah does not take part in the communication but delivers a communication channel for the IMC modules to use.

However to enable .Net 6(5,….) modules to communicate with previous Noah 4 and Noah 3 IMC module a proxy layer are provided by HIMSA to make the communication transparent for the IMC modules.

The ModuleApiProxy contains both to IMCServer og IMCClient proxies.

The IMCClient/Server proxy in the exe that holds the REST interface towards .Net 5/6.. modules will be the object communicating like a non REST component (like an existing IMC module) to the existing Noah.
