Modality Performed Procedure Step Emulator. Emulates MPPS messages from objects received from modalities without MPPS support, which are processed by the Modality Performed Procedure Step SCP in the same manner as MPPS messages received from Modalities with MPPS support.

The simulation is done through the configuration of a timeout/delay. If no further object is received for a series after a time period passes from when the first object for the series was received, the emulator assumes that the series is done and it generates an MPPS message for the series. Generally, you configure the timeout/delay so that it is long enough that all series are received completely and only one MPPS message is generated for one stored study. If another series is received after the MPPS message is generated, a second message is sent for the additional series. Each message sends an N-Create and N-Set completed.

You can set up the MPPS Emulator to forward MPPS messages to the RIS as well, using the CalledAETitle value. RIS system s are generally configured to accept MPPS messages, and then forward those MPPS messages to the PACS. Therefore the emulated MPPS messages can be sent to the RIS, which will then forward them back to archive.
