File Locations

ODIS Configuration files are stored in a few different locations, depending on type. The lists below show the locations.

Some Definitions:

Install directory

the location of the main ODIS executable file. This is established when first installing the program.

ODIS_DATA directory

the location of common ODIS configuration files, including palettes, Transducer info, and Report templates.

ProgramData directory

the location of most ODIS configuration file information.

Install Directory

This is the location of the ODIS executable. if you installed with defaults, it is located in the directory C:\OKOS\<ODIS type & version #>, where "ODIS type & version #" is the ODIS branch (e.g. ODIS or ODIS-NDT) and the version #, e.g. "3_20_1". A 64-bit install will also include "-64" at the end of the directory name.

Configuration files located in the Install Directory are:

• ODIS.exe.config
• ODISSecurityManager.exe.config
• Motors.xml
• ODIS_Passwords.xml (Default passwords only)
• ODIS_Production.xml
• IOConfig.xml (ODIS-IC only)

ODIS_DATA

The ODIS_DATA directory is where ODIS stores most of its data files. The directory is subdivided into directories for different data types.

By default, the ODIS_DATA directory is located in C:\ODIS_DATA. The location of the subdirectories can be overridden by changing the appropriate keys in ODIS.exe.config

PARAMETERS

This is the default location where parameter files are stored.

SCANS

Default location where scan data is stored. The location can be overridden by setting the Working Directory in ODIS.

PALETTES

The default location where Palette files are stored.

TRANSDUCERS

The default location where information from the Transducer Database is stored.

REPORTS

The default location where Report templates are stored. Report templates consist of XSLT and CSS files.

TEMP

Location where Temporary data is stored (e.g. backup data for a scan)
