# Log Files

SpatialLightHouse will save log files into the current user’s Documents folder, under the subfolder “Phoenix LiDAR Systems\SpatialLightHouse\YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS\\", whereby the latter string is the current time (in UTC timezone).\
\
While .log and .txt files are valid for the whole runtime of the program, the reference station data files are created whenever the user starts a new session in SpatialLightHouse. The following is a list of log files created by SpatialLightHouse.

|                     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<timestamp>.txt    | The same messages that appeared in the log window.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| \<timestamp>.log    | Contains diagnostic messages.                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| \<timestamp>.refpp  | The raw observations, required for post processing. If acquiring corrections from a CORS network public reference station, you will need to manually login to the CORS network and download the .refpp files for that specific time of day. |
| \<timestamp>.refrt  | The differential corrections (not needed).                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| \<timestamp>.refin  | All data received from reference station (not needed).                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| \<timestamp>.refout | Commands sent to the reference station for configuration (not needed)                                                                                                                                                                       |
