Parameters

Path

The location of the log files.

If an empty string being passed, DicomObjects will use "C:\" as the default location.

But still it is the container's responsibility to ensure either that the path is valid and correct.

LogLevel

This value controls the level of details logged either to the display, or to a file.

The allowable values for log level are:

Decimal	Hex
1	1	Errors
2	2	Warnings
4	4	Informational Messages
8	8	Detailed Logging
16	10	All DICOM attributes received or read
32	20	All DICOM attributes send or written
64	40	Byte-Level data received, except contents of data PDUs
128	80	Byte-level data sent, except contents of data PDUs
256	100	All bytes received
512	200	All bytes sent

RestartMinutes

RestartMinutes as int, the time interval when a new log file should be generated.

The last two levels should NOT be used routinely when images are being sent or received, as the quality of log data becomes unmanageable, and the system will probably run so slowly that connecting equipment will time-out.

Other bits in the higher word are reserved for Medical Connections' use or future expansion.

This overload is to provide users a means to restart the logging on a regular time basic. This method is useful to avoid log file end up being HUGE.
