DICOM Extension Decode Window
The DICOM window contains its own Mode Menu, similar to that of Observer itself. This
menu contains all of the actions that can be selected in DICOM mode. The button bar on
the left edge of the window offers exactly the same functionality, as well as explaining the
meanings of the buttons.
The first three entries (Start Mode, Stop, and Clear) are linked to the Packet Capture and
Decode windows of Observer (i.e., if you select one of these entries in either of these
windows, the action is also effective in the other window).

window by marking a TCP packet for DICOM communication and then selecting
Mode
Commands > Automatic DICOM Address Pair Setup
.
If you set the destination port to 0, this port is ignored. The specified source port is
compared with the source and destination ports for the packets in the Observer buffer and
processed if they match.
