Gocator Device Files
This section describes the user-accessible device files stored on a Gocator.
Live Files
Various "live" files stored on a Gocator sensor represent the sensor's active settings and transformations
(represented together as "job" files), the active replay data (if any), and the sensor log.
By changing the live job file, you can change how the sensor behaves. For example, to make settings and
transformations active,
write to or copy to the _live.job file. You can also save active settings or
transformations to a client computer, or to a file on the sensor, by reading from or copying these files,
respectively.
The live files are stored in volatile storage. Only user-created job files are stored in non-volatile
storage.
The following table lists the live files:
Name Read/Write Description
_live.job Read/Write The active job. This file contains a Configuration component containing the
current settings. If
Alignment Reference
in the active job is set to Dynamic, it
also contains a Transform component containing transformations.
For more information on job files (live and user-created), accessing their
components, and their structure, see
Job File Structure
on the next page.
_live.cfg Read/Write A standalone representation of the Configuration component contained in _
live.job. Used primarily for backwards compatibility.
_live.tfm Read/Write
If Alignment Reference of the active job is set to Dynamic:
A copy of the Transform component in _live.job. Used primarily for backwards
compatibility.
If Alignment Reference of the active job is set to Fixed:
The transformations that are used for
all
jobs whose Alignment Reference
setting is set to Fixed.
_live.log Read
A sensor log containing various messages. For more information on the log
file, see Log File below.
_live.rec Read/Write The active replay simulation data.
ExtendedId.xml Read Sensor identification.
