Different file extensions are automatically added (as suffixes) to the output file names in order to easily sort out the data relevant to any specific processing functionality. The list below is a reference (in alphabetical order) of the default file extensions used in all SARscape modules; details specific to each product can be found in the relevant help documentation.
