HIPS to GSF

Export processed HIPS data to GSF format. A new GSF file is created for each track line that is exported from HIPS. Conversely, when HIPS data is created from GSF data, a copy of the original GSF file is maintained inside the HIPS directory structure. The Export to GSF function updates these GSF files.
