Visible Fields

Source

name: selectedSource, type: String, default: server1

Sets a source DICOM node (returned in sourceEntry).

C-Store target

name: selectedTarget, type: String, default: server

Sets a target DICOM node (returned in targetEntry).

Server List

name: serverList, type: String, persistent: no

Shows a list of configured servers.

Add

name: addServer, type: Trigger

When pressed, a new server configuration is added.

Remove

name: removeServer, type: Trigger

When pressed, the selected server configuration is removed.

Name

name: serverUserName, type: String, persistent: no

Sets a user name of the selected server configuration.

Host

name: serverHost, type: String, persistent: no

Shows the host name of the selected server.

Port

name: serverPort, type: Integer, minimum: 1, maximum: 65535, persistent: no

Shows the TCP port of the selected server.

AET (serverAET)

name: serverAET, type: String, persistent: no

Shows the AE title of the selected server.

Type

name: serverType, type: Enum, persistent: no

Defines the type of the selected server.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Browsing only	browsingOnly	The server can only act as source.
C-Store target	cStoreTarget	The server can also act as a C-Store target.

Encoding

name: encoding, type: Enum, persistent: no

Defines the character encoding that is used to talk to the server in queries.

Values:

Title	Name	Description
Query encoding	query	Query the encoding per dataset from the server. With this setting you only can specify ASCII characters in queries. If the server does not return the character encoding this does not work.
Request Latin-1	latin1	Perform queries with Latin-1 encoding. You can specify characters from the Latin-1 in your query. This is probably the most robust option, since it copes with all possible results. Queries with non-ASCII characters can still be broken, though.
Request UTF-8	utf8	Perform queries with UTF-8 encoding. You can specify any characters in your query. Some servers may not support this.

AET (callingAET)

name: callingAET, type: String, persistent: no

Shows the AE title of caller as a reference when contacting the server.

Test

name: testSettings, type: Trigger

When pressed, the current configuration is tested. Uses the echoscu utility.

Hidden Fields

debug

name: debug, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, more output is printed to the console.

sourceList

name: sourceList, type: String, persistent: no

Shows a list of servers available as query sources.

targetList

name: targetList, type: String, persistent: no

Shows a list of servers available as C-Store targets.

currentEntry

name: currentEntry, type: Integer, default: -1

Shows the currently selected entry of server list.
