pynetdicom.pdu_primitives.ImplementationVersionNameNotification

class pynetdicom.pdu_primitives.ImplementationVersionNameNotification

A representation of a Implementation Version Name Notification primitive.

The implementation identification notification allows implementations of communicating AEs to identify each other at Association establishment time. It is intended to provider respective and non-ambiguous identification in the event of communication problems encountered between two nodes. This negotiation is required.

Implementation identification relies on two pieces of information:

• Implementation Class UID (required)

• Implementation Version Name (optional)

The Implementation Version Name is optional and there may only be a single ImplementationVersionNameNotification item.

Examples

>>> from pynetdicom.pdu_primitives import (
...     ImplementationVersionNameNotification
... )
>>> item = ImplementationVersionNameNotification()
>>> item.implementation_version_name = b'SOME_NAME'
