LDicomWaveformChannel::SetChannelSamples8

#include "Ltdic.h"

L_UINT32 LDicomWaveformChannel::SetChannelSamples8(pSamples, uCount)

L_UCHAR* pSamples;

/* pointer to the input buffer*/

L_UINT32 uCount;

/* size of the input buffer*/

Sets 8-bit data for a channel.

Parameter

Description

pSamples

Pointer to the buffer that holds the new channel samples.

uCount

Size of the buffer pointed to by pSamples.

Returns

The actual number of samples set for the channel.

Comments

This function sets the new samples for a channel. Before calling the LDicomWaveformChannel::SetChannelSamples8 function, be sure to call LDicomWaveformGroup::SetSampleInterpretation to set the waveform sample interpretation.

The number of samples actually set will be less than or equal to the "Number of samples per channel" (003A, 0010) in the multiplex group that represents the parent of this channel. To get that number, call the LDicomWaveformGroup::GetNumberOfSamplesPerChannel function.

This function is intended to be used for setting the data of 8-bit channels where the "Waveform Sample Interpretation" (5400,1006) is signed 8-bit linear (DICOM_SAMPLE_INTERPRETATION_SB), unsigned 8-bit linear (DICOM_SAMPLE_INTERPRETATION_UB), 8-bit mu-law (DICOM_SAMPLE_INTERPRETATION_MB) or 8-bit A-law (DICOM_SAMPLE_INTERPRETATION_AB). To get the waveform sample interpretation, use the LDicomWaveformGroup::GetSampleInterpretation function.
