2.6 Files Used by <strong>STAR*NET</strong><br />

Chapter 2 Installation<br />

A few words should be said about the files used by the program, what their functions are<br />

and where they are located.<br />

The following are “system” files containing information that may be used by any project.<br />

These files are located in the <strong>STAR*NET</strong>’s “System” directory, normally the same<br />

directory you installed the <strong>STAR*NET</strong> program.<br />

FILE DESCRIPTION<br />

STAR6.DEF Default company option settings and company instrument library<br />

items - created the first time <strong>STAR*NET</strong> is run<br />

STAR6.FMT Output coordinate format styles - installed<br />

STAR6.SPC State Plane Coordinate System constants - installed<br />

STAR6.CUS Custom grid zone and linear units definitions - installed<br />

The following are “project-related” files that contain input data, options and output.<br />

Input data files must be created before an adjustment. Output files are created during the<br />

run and take on the name of the project. For example, if you are working with a project<br />

named “JOB”, output files will inherit that name as illustrated below.<br />

FILE DESCRIPTION<br />

JOB.DAT One or more input data files - the “DAT” extension is suggested<br />

however other file names and extensions may be used<br />

JOB.PRJ Project options and project instrument library items - created<br />

when a project is first created<br />

JOB.LST Output - adjustment listing<br />

JOB.ERR Output - error listing - created when errors or warnings found<br />

JOB.SBF Output - Star Binary File - adjusted information used for the<br />

creation of plots, reformatted points and DXF export<br />

By default, all files for a project are located in the same directory, normally called the<br />

project folder. Data files may optionally be located elsewhere.<br />

The files shown above always exist for a project. Depending on settings in the Project<br />

Options, additional files may be created during an adjustment, each having its own<br />

reserved extension: coordinates (PTS), geodetic positions (POS), ground-scaled<br />

coordinates (GND) and ground station information dump file (DMP).<br />
