283 -
284 -This folder stores the RAW data you have harvested from the nodes. The data will still be on the nodes (unless you erased it) in case of emergency, but regardless, this is the folder you want to back up and save somewhere.
285 -
286 -If you had a weird time harvesting a node, you can always manually copy it as if it were a USB stick and place it into this folder manually. The structure is: //C:/DCCDATA/prospect_name/project_name/SERIALNUMBER/label(usually a timestamp but can be anything)//

288 -Then in the SoloLite software, go to tools > Reanalyze Seismic Data

292 -This folder stores **exported** (e.g. miniseed) data. It is structured similarly. If your DCCDATA is intact, this can always be re-created if need be.

323 -== 18 Leap Second bug ==
324 -
325 -Not so much a bug as much as "a thing that can happen if your SoloLite installation is corrupted". If you notice your data has large time offsets, you should suspect that the number of leap seconds has not been accounted properly. There is a file "smartsoloconfig.xml" that needs to be present in "C:\SmartSoloApps SoloLite" (e.g. the main program directory) that dictates the leap second offset for the last two data ranges. Since 2017-01-01, this is 18 seconds.
326 -
327 -If this file is missing, just create a new one structured like so, name it "smartsoloconfig.xml" and put it in your main program directory. Then, Reanalyze your data (tools > Reanalyze seismic data) and your data should have the correct time. You can also do this manually, if you want. The offset is 18 seconds precisely.
