L_LTDIC_API L_INT L_DicomSendCEchoRequest(hNet, nPresentationID, nMessageID, pszClass)
| HDICOMNET hNet; | /* a DICOM Network handle */ | 
| L_UCHAR nPresentationID; | /* presentation ID */ | 
| L_UINT16 nMessageID; | /* message ID */ | 
| L_TCHAR * pszClass; | /* class type */ | 
Sends a C-ECHO-REQ message to a peer member of a connection. This function is available in the PACS Imaging Toolkit.
| Parameter | Description | 
| hNet | A DICOM Network handle to the peer member of the connection. | 
| nPresentationID | Presentation ID. The presentation ID provides information about both the class type of the data and the transfer syntax to use when transferring the data. | 
| nMessageID | Message ID. Each message sent by a member of a connection should have a unique ID. Since a member of a connection may send several messages, this ID allows that member to identify when a specific request has been completed. | 
| pszClass | Class affected by the request. This will be an SOP Class or an SOP MetaClass. | 
Returns
| DICOM_SUCCESS | The function was successful. | 
| >0 | An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes. | 
Comments
Calling this function generates a call to RECEIVECECHOREQUESTCALLBACK on the SCP. The SCP should respond by calling L_DicomSendCEchoResponse which will generate a call to RECEIVECECHORESPONSECALLBACK.
