NOTE:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DATAFLOWS
:
The system’s default dataflow is
Local Archive - Int. HD
. In this configuration, the Patient List is in the
local archive and the images are stored on the internal hard drive.
In a dataflow configuration such as
Int. HD - MOD 525 (DICOM)
,
images are stored both on the internal
hard drive and on media (MOD). The name DICOM is shown in parenthesis, signifying that on the MOD,
the images are in DICOM format.
No Archive
is a dataflow that has no output source, for use in emergencies.
CAUTION:
DO NOT change the name of an existing dataflow or attempt to add new services to
a dataflow!
In the event that any changes or additions are required, contact the On-line Center.

and sent to the spooler to be sent over the network.
5) Press
<Ctrl+S>
