DICOM SR
If SR is enabled, all M&A that is supported by DICO M is sent to the DICOM server (in a separate job).
Allow SR Private Data (introduced with software versions v6.0, v5.2 and v4.2.)
By default, this function is disabled.
Allow SR Private Data  is intended for receivers that can handle “Private Data”, like the CA-1000.
In the examples in Figure 3-67 and Figure 3-68 (below),  Allow SR Private Data has been enabled.

Retry
• Max # - The number of times the  software will try to connect if the connection doesn’t succeed the 
first time(s).
• Interval - The interval in seconds between each attempt to connect.
Smiley
Select the Smiley button to ping th e server. If the network connection  is OK, the Smiley will smile, if the 
connection fail, the Smiley will turn sad.
NOTE: The smiley checks if the remote server is  accessible (ping). It is not a DICOM Echo (DICOM 
ping), so it does not check AE title or port number.
Reopen per Image
If Reopen per image is enabled, Vi vid 7 will create a new connection (asso ciation) for each image. This 
may be useful for DICOM servers that do not acce pt different image types in the same association.

Commitment”. 
In the dialog, enter IP address, Name, AE Title and Port Number.

Time-out
Adjust Time-out setting
Introduced with software versions v6.0, v5.2 and v4.2:  The retry settings can be used to make jobs 
retry on bad networks. There is no need to set retries for mobile (off-line) use when these software 
versions are used.
Software v5.1.x/v4.1.x and lower:  The retry settings for DICOM Storage are by default for mobile (off-
line) use. They ensure that  jobs in the spooler will be sent automatically if the user reconnects within the 
total retry period. If the customer does not have the  mobile case, you can reduce the number of retries 
and the interval. This will make the jo b fail faster if there is a network or server problem (and let the user 
forward the job to another server if desired).
OK/Cancel
•Select  OK to save all changes. The changes will take  place after the scanner has been restarted.
•Select  Cancel to return without  saving any changes.

3-9-16 Create a New Dataflow
3-9-16-1 Overview It is possible to make new dataflows by combining  the predefined settings. The table below describes 
the legal combination of inputs and outputs in a dataflow.
3-9-16-2 Create a New Dataflow with Worklist, Database and DICOM Storage (Introduced for software v4.0)
To create a new dataflow with Work list, Database and DICOM Storage,  do the following in exactly these 
steps:
1.) Add the Worklist Input, highlight it, select proper ties, and name it (i.e.: DR PACS Worklist or just 
Worklist).
Go to the IP Address field, scro ll down and select . This  will allow you to edit or add IP 
Addresses (New Destinations/devices).  If the correct IP Address is already in the list, just select it.
2.) Add the Database Input/Output, highlight it, select  properties, and name it (i.e.: Local Archive - Int 
HD).
Go to the IP Address field and (if the Database is to be the Local Archive) verify that My Computer 
is selected.
The IP Address should then be correct and the Database Name and Archive File Location entries 
should auto-populate correctly.

3-9-16-2      Create a New Dataflow with Worklist, Database and DICOM Storage (cont’d) 3.) Add the DICOM Storage Output, highlight it, select properties, and name it (i.e.: DR PACS Store).Go to the IP Address field, scroll down and select  . This will allow you to edit or add IP 
Addresses (New Destinations/devices).
If the correct IP Address is alre ady in the list, just select it.
If you create the Dataflow in any  other order or remove and add an  entry later, you may or will receive 
“you are not connected to the Data base” errors when trying to create a patient locally. The Worklist will 
work, however they can NOT save patients “created ” on the Vivid 7 to the Archive while using that 
dataflow.
You can change the information on each entry in a Dataflow as long as you do NOT remove or add to 
the Dataflow out of sequence.
You should also set Direct Search to “All patients” for the new dataflow.
