What is a LOK file?

LOK files mostly belong to SBG Systems software. LOK files are used as containers for location and sensor log data.
For one use case, they are produced by SBG Systems as SBG location files (or SBG Systems localization files). These files use an internal format called Source2 to store data such as coordinates and sensor readings that support localization and tracking tasks.
In another case, LogTag Analyzer creates LOK files as LogTag data files. These files record sensor measurements for data analysis. They are sometimes referenced as OriginLab data files and are associated with products from Freezerworks. For more on this use, visit LogTag Recorders.
Usage details:
  • Designed for location and sensor information storage.
  • Used in systems that track device positioning and log sensor data.
  • How to use:
  • Open with the respective proprietary software from SBG Systems or LogTag Analyzer.
  • Ensure you use the correct version if file loading issues occur.
  • Advanced note:
  • Few users know that the embedded Source2 structure can reveal detailed sensor calibration metadata when probed with custom scripts.
  • How can I open a LOK file?

    You need a suitable software like SBG Systems software to open a LOK file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your LOK file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a LOK file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
