# Importing the GSD File into the Catalog

The In-Sight vision system appears in the Catalog only if its GSD file is installed. This must be performed only once, when the vision system is configured on the PLC the first time.

To install the GSD file for the In-Sight vision system, follow the below steps:

1. Click the Options menu, and then the Install general station description file (GSD) option.

2. Browse the folder containing the GSD file:

   C:\Program Files\Cognex\In-Sight\In-Sight Vision Suite Editors\In-Sight\In-Sight 24.2.1\FFP\GSD\ GSDML-V2.42-Cognex-IS2800ClassB-20211119.xml

3. Check the checkbox in front of the GSDML file, then click Install.
