Trigger ExportConverters after the series gets written

Hi,

I understand ExportConverters run after each incoming image slice.

I want to trigger a batch script which records some details after each series (NOT IMAGE) gets written.

So, I created an ExportConverter like this

ExportConverter0 = process series after 1 by F:\Programming\dicomHubScripts\processSeries.bat "%d" %u %i %V0020,000E %V0020,000D %V0008,0060 "%V0008,103E" "%V0018,1030"

What I believe the above converter does is that -> After a series gets written, it will trigger that batch script with a delay of 1 second. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The batch script just logs all those parameters to a text file

@setlocal

@rem Changing the working directory to where the script is located
@pushd "%~dp0"

@rem Params should be in the order: Date Trigger PatientID SeriesUID StudyUID Modality SeriesDescription
set trigger=%2
set StId=%5
echo %*>>data/series_%trigger%_%StId%.txt

@rem Reverting the execution to the original location
@popd

@endlocal

Now when Conquest receives a Study set with one series, I expected the above would log all the parameters to a file only once as the study contains only one series. But it logs the same details twice or multiple items depending on the data.

My 2 Questions are:

1) What should I do to make the export converter trigger only once after each series gets written?

2) Similarly, What should I do to make the export converter trigger only once after a study gets written completely (i.e., all the series in that study gets written fully)?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am using the latest version 1.5.0c

There is no natural end to a series so you need a delay to see if nothing more is coming.

How would I delay such that nothing more is coming?

Also, how to trigger a study level export converter such that it gets triggered after all the associated series get completed?

Okay. Thanks Marcel.
