File Locations

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

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 or Report data)

ProgramData

The hidden ProgramData directory is the location of most ODIS configuration file information. ProgramData is a Windows directory located on C: drive.

Each version of ODIS installed on the system has its own subdirectory in ProgramData at the following location:

 C:\ProgramData\OKOS Solutions LLC\<ODIS or ODIS-NDT>\<ODIS Version #>

The directory will contain configuration files prefixed with an "ODIS_". The directory will also contain any Log files, stored as simple Text files (.txt).

Notable files in the ProgramData directory include:

• ODIS_Passwords.xml - This overrides the defaults and stores the passwords as set in the Security Manager program.
• ODIS_SystemConfiguration.xml - This is the file that stores all settings from the ODIS Configuration dialog.
• ODIS_AnnotationDefaults.xml - Contains the default color, line thickness, and font settings for Image Annotations.
