This chapter expla ins the functions of the following windows in the Oasis MRI

System:

• Job Queue window (figure 9-1 ), in wh ich you can check the progress of

filming, storing, and other tasks.

• Protocol!fask Lihrary window (figure 9-4), where you can add, change, or

The Job Queue w indow (figure 9-l) allows you to check the progress of

filming, media storage, DICOM, post-processing, and spectroscopy analysis

tasks. Access the window through one of the following methods:

Cl ick the Job Queue button, which is displayed at the end of the Launcher

Toolbar. The Job Queue button only appears when performing a function listed

in the Job Queue window (fi lming, media storage, DJCOM, post processing, or

spectroscopy analysis). W hen the button is active, it will be d isplayed with a

solid green circle.

OR

~ Click the Job Queue Launcher button on the Launcher Tool bar. The Job Queue

Launcher button only appears if the toolbar has been customized. Refer to the

Launcher Buttons section of Chapter 3, System Overview, for complete

Launcher Toolbar customizing details.

The Job Q ueue window opens, as shown in figure 9-1, with five tabs displayed:

Filming, Media, DICOM, Post Processing, and Spectroscopy Analysis. The tab

that is currently active and the information it displays corresponds to the

function that the system is currently performing. Each tab lists a ll jobs in the

queue for that process. In figure 9-1 , the Med ia tab has been selected and the media storage jobs are listed.
