pynetdicom.pdu_items.ImplementationVersionNameSubItem

class pynetdicom.pdu_items.ImplementationVersionNameSubItem

An Implementation Version Name Sub-item.

The Implementation Version Name Sub-item allows communicating Application Entities to identify each other at Association establishment.

implementation_version_name

The Implementation Version Name field value, 1 to 16 characters.

Type:bytes or None

item_length

The number of bytes from the first byte following the Item Length field to the last byte of the Item.

Type:int

item_type

The Item Type field value (0x55).

Type:int

Notes

The Implementation Class UID Sub Item requires the following parameters:

• Item type (1, fixed, 0x55)
• Item length (1)
• Implementation version name (1)

Implementation Version Name

The Implementation Version Name shall be encoded as a string of 1 to 16 ISO 646:1990 (basic G0 set) characters.

Encoding

When encoded, an Implementation Version Name Sub-item has the following structure, taken from Tables D.3-3 and D.3-4 [1] (offsets shown with Python indexing). Items are always encoded using Big Endian [2].

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	Item type
1	1	Reserved
2	2	Item length
4	Variable	Implementation version name

__init__()

Initialise a new Implementation Version Name Item.

Methods

__init__()	Initialise a new Implementation Version Name Item.
decode(bytestream)	Decode bytestream and use the result to set the field values of the PDU item.
encode()	Return the encoded PDU as bytes.
from_primitive(primitive)	Set the item’s values using an Implementation Identification primitive.
to_primitive()	Return an Implementation Identification primitive from the current Item.

Attributes

implementation_version_name	Return the item’s Implementation Version Name field value.
item_length	Return the item’s Item Length field value as an int.
item_type	Return the item’s Item Type field value as an int.

decode(bytestream)

Decode bytestream and use the result to set the field values of the PDU item.

Parameters:bytestream (bytes) – The PDU data to be decoded.

encode()

Return the encoded PDU as bytes.

Returns:The encoded PDU. Return type:bytes

from_primitive(primitive)

Set the item’s values using an Implementation Identification primitive.

Parameters:primitive (pdu_primitives.ImplementationVersionNameNotification) – The primitive to use to set the Item’s field values.

implementation_version_name

Return the item’s Implementation Version Name field value.

item_length

Return the item’s Item Length field value as an int.

item_type

Return the item’s Item Type field value as an int.

to_primitive()

Return an Implementation Identification primitive from the current Item.

Returns:The primitive representation of the current Item. Return type:pdu_primitives.ImplementationVersionNameNotification
