Configuration files are used to store GSEOS system configuration parameters. They are specified in a modified XML syntax. A configuration file can hold configuration information for various different modules of GSEOS. Currently the only module implemented is the Alarm Monitor configuration. These configuration files are usually generated and modified from the GSEOS user interface. However, they can be edited with a regular ASCII editor as well. Any changes to the configuration file will be recognized by the GUI tools and displayed accordingly. In order for the configurations to take effect in GSEOS they have to be loaded either at startup with an entry in the gseos.ini initialization file or at runtime from the File/Open menu.
Note:
The Alarm Monitor configuration Wizard is currently not implemented, so the only way to configure an Alarm Monitor is to manually create the configuration file.
