Extract text from LogTag data files (LOK)
To convert LOK data files to another format, you need LogTag Analyzer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Environmental & GIS Logging" file type, you need software like LogTag Analyzer or a similar tool.
The .LOK file extension represents two distinct categories of proprietary binary data that users often struggle to access without specialized vendor tools.
1. LogTag Temperature Data: The most common consumer-facing use is by LogTag Recorders, widely used in cold chain logistics to monitor shipments of vaccines, food, and chemicals. These .LOK files contain encrypted temperature and humidity readings. A common friction point is that these files cannot be opened in Microsoft Excel or standard text editors. Users typically receive them via email and need to convert them to CSV for analysis or PDF for compliance reporting. Without the specific LogTag Analyzer software, the file is effectively a black box.
2. SBG Geodetic Data: In the geospatial engineering sector, .LOK files store geodetic localization parameters generated by SBG Systems inertial navigation units. These files use the internal Source2 format to define coordinate systems for mapping. GIS professionals often need to convert these into universal formats like KML, GPX, or TXT to use the data in third-party software like QGIS or ArcGIS.
Recommendation: For LogTag files, the best conversion target is XLSX (Excel) for data manipulation or PDF for immutable auditing. For SBG files, converting to JSON or CSV renders the geodetic parameters human-readable.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LOK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted VTP, REL and WF1 files.
If you want to convert LOK file to , you can use LogTag Analyzer or similar software from the "Sensor Data Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to LOK, try LogTag Analyzer or another comparable tool in the "Sensor Data Logging" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LOK converter.
