How to open AC1 file?
The most common problem when using SPICE AC/frequence Domain Output is that a specific AC1 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that AC1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AC1 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 Spice
The first step is to check if the computer has the Spice program installed. This can be achieved by typing Spice into the operating system search engine.

Remember to download programs supporting AC1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spice with AC1 files
If, despite the installed application, the AC1 file does not start in the Spice application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AC1 file with the Spice program.
Step 3. Update Spice to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Spice program with the SPICE AC/frequence Domain Output file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the National Instruments Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AC1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AC1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AC1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AC1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AC1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AC1 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AC1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use National Instruments Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AC1 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AC1 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AC1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AC1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
