The GSEOS Main Window

Previous  Top  Next

GSEOS is a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application. Data is organized in child windows within the main application window. Besides just being an MDI application GSEOS also organizes its windows on Desktop tabs. This allows you to configure various window layouts and to easily switch between them. The picture below shows the empty main application.


In the caption bar of the main window you can see: Mimi [1] - Offline. This is the title of the main window and consists of three fields:

MyProject:

The project name as configured in gseos.ini.

[1]:

The current instance number/name. Multiple instances of GSEOS can be run concurrently. You can specify the instance number/name on the command line, the \I switch will specify the instance number/name. This allows you to configure different application settings for different instances of the application.

Offline

The currently active data source. The system can have different data sources, but only one active one at a given time. These data sources are Offline, Bios (Spacecraft Simulator), Net, Recorder, or your own custom data source.

On the bottom of the application you can see the currently active desktop tab which is 'Untitled' initially. The recorder mode is indicated in the lower right of the status bar.
