Codonics Virtua - Setting Up Query;Retrieve

Codonics Virtua User’s Manual 3-35
Setting Up the Software
The query/retrieve profile includes configuration parameters that
must be set up to support the Query/Retrieve Study function. The
Query/Retrieve function allows Virtua users to query a DICOM
Query/Retrieve Service Class Provider (Q/R SCP) device, such as a
PACS server, for a list of studies. One or more of the studies can then
be retrieved and recorded to disc.
The query/retrieve profile file— qrscu.default.txt —is preinstalled
on the SmartDrive in the \profiles\dicom directory. You can modify
this file to specify query/retrieve configuration information. For
general information about modifying a profile, refer to “Creating
and Modifying Profiles” on page 3-10.
The format and parameters of the query/retrieve profile text file are
defined in the following table.
