A1 File Types

Current OmniTek systems use some unique file types. This section explains what type of data is held in each file type.

.ods (OmniDesktop Settings)

Stores everything: all user configurable engineering settings, the four layouts (pages), and all other misc settings and preferences. Note that OmniTek saves a .ods file when it is closed down, and opens that same file when it next starts up, ensuring the system is in the exact same state in was last in (called 'startup.ods' and is located in 'program files\omnitek\omnitek'). OmniTek allows the user to optionally load a .ods file at startup, make sure the 'At start-up prompt to load system configuration' option is checked in the File->Preferences menu.

.ode (OmniDesktop Engineering)

Stores all user configurable engineering settings (those settings configurable via the engineering Window).

.odl (OmniDesktop Layout)

Stores layout information for current page: child Window position, size, snap. Z-order of child Windows.

Toolbar visibility, position. Layout name. Line-data Window: visible sections for RGB/YPbPr colour

modes. Video-status Window: visible items.

.ogs (OmniGen Setup)

Stores the generator configuration: default resize type, pattern path, resize type, and load status. Selected pattern. List/thumbnail mode.

.ini (Initialization)

Generic data is stored in ini files. OmniTek uses three .ini files, one for the full-screen-layout definitions (full_screen_layouts.ini), one for range-error profiles (analyzer_range_error_profiles.ini), and one for cage safe-title profiles (cage_safe_title_profiles.ini). All of these ini files are stored at the same level as the OmniTek executable (usually at c:\program files\omnitek\omnitek).

.xml (Extensible Markup Language)

The main event log and the picture quality time-based log are stored/loaded as XML files.
