GSEOS supports different configuration files for different tasks. The system configuration file is gseos.ini. Although you can specify a different file name by using the /ini switch from the command line. Check the command line options for more details.

GSEOS supports the following configuration files:

Configuration File Type	Extension	Description
Alarm Limit Files	*.alarm	Defines alarm limits that can be assigned to data items.
Block Definition Files	*.blk	Defines your telemetry and data blocks.
Command Batch Files	*.cpb	Time tagged execution of commands.
Command Definition Files	*.cpd	Defines your commands.
Command Menu Files	*.cm	Hierarchical command interface in form of a menu.
Formula Definition Files	*.qlf	Defines conversion functions and expressions you can apply to your data items.
Status Definition Files	*.tr	Status text and image mappings for data items.

Loading of files
You can manually load most file types through the File/Open menu. However, most likely you want to load your configuration files automatically on system startup. You can enter any file you want to load at startup in the [Config]/Load section in the gseos.ini file. Block definition files (*.blk) have to specified with the BlkFiles entry in the [Config] section.
