storage and export.  
Max Frame Rate Select 25, 30 or Full (original acquisition) from the 
pop-up menu. 
Compression Select compression type or no compression. 
Quality Set picture quality from 1 to 100%. A low picture quality level 
allows high data compression, while a high picture quality restrains 
the compression. 
Allow Multiframe : Allow cineloop storage. 
Connection Settings Definition: 
Retry Set maximum number of connection retries, time interval 
between tentative and time-out. 
DICOM Settings Definitions: 
AE Title Application Entity Title  
Port The Port no. is allocated during DICOM configuration. Refer to

Storage commitment Send a request to a PACS, asking it to 
permanently archive image(s) 
MPPS Modality Perform Procedure Step: send information (typically 
to a HIS) that a scheduled exam has been started, performed or 
interrupted. 
DICOM SR settings:x  
 Allow SR: enable DICOM SR. 
 Allow SR private data: send the current exam data in a private 
format. This option is by default unchecked and should only be 
used with DICOM storage devices that can handle private data 
format. 
 Signed Doppler velocities: send signed Doppler velocities.

Logiq E9 Connectivity 
TCPIP: allows you to configure the Internet Protocol. 
Device: allows you to set up devices. 
Service: allows you to configure a service for example; DICOM 
services such as printers, worklist, and other services such as video 
print and standard print from the list of supported services.  
You can search for a 
specific patient record or a 
group of patient record 
using the search filters. 
To set up connectivity for 
your institution you must 
login with administrator 
privileges.

Dataflow: allows you to adjust the settings of the selected dataflow 
and associated services. Selecting a dataflow customizes the 
ultrasound system to work according to the services associated with 
the selected dataflow. 
Button: allows you to assign a pre-configured output service (or set of 
output services) to the Print keys on the control panel. 
Removable Media: enables formatting (DICOM, database, or blank 
formatting) and DICOM verification of removable media. 
Miscellaneous: allows you to set up the patient exam menu options, 
print and store options, and the order of the columns in the 
examination list on the Patient menu. 
Configure these screens from left to right, starting with the TCPIP tab 
first. 
TCPIP 
This configuration category enables users with administrativerights to 
set the TCPIP for the system and connected remote archive. 
 
 Type the name of the Ultrasound system in the Computer Name 
field. 
 Type the IP-Address (acquire unique static IP address from 
hospital network administrator), Subnet Mask, and Default 
Gateway (if applicable). 
 Select Save settings and re-boot the ultrasound system. 
TCPIP settings are not restored when restoring backups. This by 
design to ensure that the IP address is unique. Reboot is required for 
the changes to take effect. 
Note: TCPIP settings do 
not get restored when 
restoring backups. This is 
per system design. The 
LOGIQ E9 IP address 
MUST BE unique. 
Note: Do not set up the 
system with DHCP. The IP 
address MUST BE static 
for the diagnostic and 
DICOM to function 
correctly.

DICOM Query/Retrieve 
DICOM Query/Retrieve provides a list of patients sorted by 
query parameters. 
 
 
 
If you have problems with slow responses from DICOM servers, you 
can try increasing the time-out in the DICOM server properties dialog: 
Utility -> Connectivity -> Service -> Properties-> Maximum Retries 
and Timeout 
 Slow response time may result in images being re-sent automatically 
and low transfer rates. The retry settings can be used to make jobs 
retry on bad networks. 
 
When portable (off-line), use the minimum time-out and no retries as 
it will affect shutdown speed.

Maximum Results Specify the maximum number of patient records 
the system will retrieve when searching the patient database, up to 
300, with the default set at 100.
