A Quick Tour
Previous  Top  Next

This section will take you on a quick tour through GSEOS and explain the most important concepts in GSEOS. It will outline the general structure and configuration of the system and give an overview of the various capabilities of GSEOS. For a detailed description please refer to the GSEOS Reference chapter.

GSEOS is a 'shrink-wrap' application that you can run stand-alone. However, you have to configure the system to your needs. This paragraph will describe the various files you will have to create/modify in order to set up a working system.

gseos.ini
This file configures the system parameters like startup files, network settings, recorder path, project name, etc.

MyProject.blk
The block definition file(s) will hold your telemetry and other block definitions. You can split your block definitions over multiple files for easier management. The block definition files to be loaded are specified in the gseos.ini file. Changes to block definition files require a restart of GSEOS for these changes to take effect. The following paragraph shows a sample block definition. For a detailed description of the bock definition format refer to the section: Block Definition Files.

TLM         {
             (ApId             ,,,16;)
                               ,,, 5;
              InstId           ,,, 4;
              PacketId         ,,, 7;
              Seq              ,,,32;
              Len              ,,,32;
              Data [40000]   0 ,,, 8;
            }

Once you configured your gseos.ini file and set up your block definition file you are ready to start GSEOS. You will see the application like shown below.
