pynetdicom.pdu_items.ImplementationClassUIDSubItem

class pynetdicom.pdu_items.ImplementationClassUIDSubItem[source]

An Implementation Class UID Sub-item.

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

Notes

An Implementation Class UID Sub-item requires the following parameters:

  • Item type (1, fixed, 0x52)

  • Item length (1)

  • Implementation Class UID (1)

Encoding

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