Directory Structure
Previous  Top  Next

The GSEOS application consists of various system as well as configuration files. These can be moved to any location within the file system as long as the internal structure remains the same. No Registry settings are necessary or need to be changed in order to move the GSEOS directory to another location. The main directory that contains the gseos.exe executable is referred to as GSEOS root directory.

The GSEOS root directory contains all the GSEOS executable files like gseos.exe, as well as various configuration files, gseos.ini being the most important one. Block definition files as well as other configuration files can be located in the main directory as well. Typically this directory is named after your instrument or spacecraft, i.e.: Mimi GSEOS. In case of multiple instrument support you might want to name the top folder after the mission or spacecraft, e.g.: New Horizons GSEOS. Each instrument should have it's own folder underneath the top level directory.

The Data directory is just by convention and receives the recorded files.

The Samples directory contains sample files.

The Doc directory contains this file which will be invoked from the GSEOS help. The System directory contains mostly executable system like dynamic library files.

A basic directory structure for a single instrument is shown below:
