Enable Optical Lets you select the optical disk as the target device 
when both a hard disk and an optical disk are installed. 
When Enable Optical is on, all system data is stored to 
the optical disk. When Enable Optical is off, all 
system data is stored to the hard disk. 
This control is off by default. It is a system-wide 
control that, when set, remains set until you change it. 
The Enable Optical window appears before every disk 
retrieval or utility operation, and also before the first 
disk storage operation in a study.
When Study Mode is off and Enable Optical is on, 
every disk storage operation goes to the optical disk 
without the window prompt. However, retrieval and 
utility operations still require the window prompt. 
If Enable Optical is off, all disk operations go to the 
hard disk.
Network 
Autosend
Available under the Disk controls when you press 
. Sending a complete study to a network can take 
some time. When you enable Network Autosend, as 
soon as an image is stored to the local disk, IDI begins 
sending the image to the network server. When 
Network Autosend is not enabled, the IDI system does 
not start sending the study to the network server until 
you touch End Study.
Delete Options Lets you choose whether or not to automatically delete 
an acquired loop from loop memory after it is stored to 
disk. Also lets you choose whether to automatically 
delete files from the disk when they are manually 
deleted from loop memory.
Maximize
Transfer/Frames
Works in conjunction with the Acquire 120Hz/300Hz 
control in 2D imaging Setup. Maximize Frames 
acquires images up to 300 Hz. Maximize Transfer 
acquires images up to 120 Hz.

files on the optical disk, 
Philips recommends that 
you write-protect the 
optical disk on both the 
A and B sides before

station such as a 
Windows NT computer
