[Viewer Setting]
- [Search Interval] determines the search interval which worklist will use initially.
- [Maximum Tab number] sets maximum Exam number of showing in the monitor. If
the number of exam that the user selects will exceed this value, it will be eliminated
from the exam opened first. (First In, First Out)
- [Position]
T-View consists of TView.exe to show Exam information and TViewDisp.exe to print
out image to screen. In this dialogue, it sets the screen position of these two program.
If multi monitor being used, one monitor should be a base monitor to set the location,
you can figure out which one is a base monitor through click the right button of mouse
on desktop, choosing the “pRoperty”. (the coordinate value of base monitor is 0.0) In
case only one monitor being used, generally set up the same value to “TView Position”
and “TView Disp Position”.
(example) If the property on desktop is shown as bellows;
The computer recognizes that monitor#1 is at its left side and monitor#2 is at its right
side. So, if you move the mouse to monitor#1’s right end, it will appear at the left side
of monitor#2. What happens if you move monitor#2 to left side of monitor#1? The
result will be same, because the computer still recognize monitor#2 is located on
monitor#1’s right side. But, in this case, you’ll see the movement of mouse is not
natural between two monitors. If you want to see “TView” at monitor#1 and
“TViewDisp” at monitor#2, you should set the each values of two programs like this;
10 /75 Page
“TView Position”: [Left X Position: 0], [Width: 1024], [Height: 1280]
“TViewDisp Position”: [Left X Position:1024], [Width: 1024], [Height: 1280]
Position 0,0
And if you want to see “TView” at monitor#1 and “TViewDisp” at both monitor#1and#2,
need to set the values as bellows;
“TView Position”: [Left X Position: 0], [Width: 1024], [Height: 1280]
“TViewDisp Position”: [Left X Position:0], [Width: 2048], [Height: 1280]

- [Use Multi-frame DCM file]
If you treat multi-frame image(One big image file comprises several small

- [Use small buffer(1024 Bytes) at file downloading]
We use big memory to download file. If your system has small memory, check
this option. Then PACS program will download file with small 1024 bytes memory.
