# IDLffDicomExCfg

The IDLffDicomExCfg object allows you to set and retrieve the values of IDL DICOM Network Service configuration parameters. See Using IDL DICOM Network Services for more information.

The values accessible to this object can also be modified using the graphical user interface provided by the DICOM Network Services utility. See Starting the Network Services Utility for a description of that utility. Parameters accessible through this object correspond to those shown on the Configuration tab of the DICOM Network Services utility.

Note: This feature requires an additional-cost license key to access the functionality. For more information, contact your Exelis VIS sales representative or technical support.

Note: Although configuration parameters for the DICOM Network Service are stored in human-readable XML files, it is important to note that the format of the configuration file may change at any time. Because of this, configuration files should always be modified either by using the graphical DICOM Network Services utility or using an instance of the IDLffDicomExCfg object, and never directly by the user.
