Claim One:
1. A radiation beam therapy system having a plurality of treatment devices including a radiation beam source and a beam transport device, the radiation beam therapy system comprising: a database component that stores subsets of parameters associated with selected treatment devices, wherein the parameters comprise instructional information that can be used to configure the selected treatment devices for operation; an interface component that allows a user to modify the subsets of parameters associated with selected treatment devices stored in the database; and a management component that extracts subsets of parameters from the database and generates data storage elements comprising the extracted subsets of parameters in a format recognizable by the selected treatment devices, wherein the data storage elements permit configuration of the selected treatment devices based, at least in part, on the instructional information comprised therein, the management component further distributes the data storage elements to the selected treatment devices to thereby permit the selected treatment devices to operate independently of the database component.
