# 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>.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).                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-6.phoenixlidar.com/rover/theory-and-workflow/reference-station-setup/spatiallighthouse/log-files.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
