pynetdicom.pdu_items.AsynchronousOperationsWindowSubItem

class pynetdicom.pdu_items.AsynchronousOperationsWindowSubItem

An Asynchronous Operations Window Sub-item.

Represents the Asynchronous Operations Window Sub Item used in A-ASSOCIATE-RQ and A-ASSOCIATE-AC PDUs.

Notes

An Asynchronous Operations Window Sub-item requires the following parameters:

• Item type (1, fixed, 0x53)

• Item length (1)

• Maximum number of operations invoked (1)

• Maximum number of operations performed (1)

Encoding

When encoded, an Asynchronous Operations Window Sub-item has the following structure, taken from Tables D.3-7 and D.3-8 of the DICOM Standard (offsets shown with Python indexing). Items are always encoded using Big Endian.

Offset	Length	Description
0	1	Item type
1	1	Reserved
2	2	Item length
4	2	Maximum number operations invoked
6	2	Maximum number operations performed

__init__() → None

Initialise a new Asynchronous Operations Window Item.

Methods

__init__()	Initialise a new Asynchronous Operations Window 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 Asynchronous Operations Window primitive.
to_primitive()	Return an Asynchronous Operations Window primitive from the current Item.

Attributes

item_length	Return the item's Item Length field value as int.
item_type	Return the item's Item Type field value as int.
max_operations_invoked	Return the item's Maximum Number Operations Invoked field value.
max_operations_performed	Return the item's Maximum Number Operations Performed field value.

from_primitive(primitive: AsynchronousOperationsWindowNegotiation) → None

Set the item’s values using an Asynchronous Operations Window primitive.

Parameters:

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

property item_length: int

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

property max_operations_invoked: int | None

Return the item’s Maximum Number Operations Invoked field value.

property max_operations_performed: int | None

Return the item’s Maximum Number Operations Performed field value.

to_primitive() → AsynchronousOperationsWindowNegotiation

Return an Asynchronous Operations Window primitive from the current Item.

Returns:

The primitive representation of the current Item.

Return type:

pdu_primitives.AsynchronousOperationsWindowNegotiation
