Where to Find the Dialog

Instrument Setup and Storage

A predefined instrument setup is located in the sys folder and cannot be changed by the user. This setup is automatically copied to the User folder when the program is started for the first time after installation. Instruments in the User folder are shared across all Gemini Terrain projects and can be customized or extended by the organization.

Instruments can also be stored in the project folder. The first time you open a project for editing, all instruments are copied from User to Project and can be customized or extended as needed.
