The ALIASES file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ALIASES files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ALIASES file on each system platform.
What is ALIASES file?
The ALIASES file has been categorized as Settings Files. The author of this format is National Instruments Corporation. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. LabVIEW IP Adresses Map appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The LabVIEW application is recommended to open the file. It was released by National Instruments Corporation.
How to open ALIASES file?
An often recurring problem with LabVIEW IP Adresses Map is that ALIASES is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ALIASES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALIASES file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install LabVIEW
In this case, you should first verify that the LabVIEW application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name LabVIEW into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ALIASES with LabVIEW. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ALIASES files.
Programs to open ALIASES file
Remember to download programs supporting ALIASES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LabVIEW with ALIASES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ALIASES file still does not use the LabVIEW program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ALIASES file with the LabVIEW application.
Step 3. Update LabVIEW to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LabVIEW program with the LabVIEW IP Adresses Map file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the National Instruments Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALIASES file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ALIASES file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ALIASES or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ALIASES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ALIASES file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ALIASES files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting National Instruments Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ALIASES files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ALIASES to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ALIASES file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ALIASES file again. However, some background programs may block the ALIASES file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
