How to open AC7 file?
An often recurring problem with SPICE AC/frequence Domain Output is that AC7 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that AC7 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AC7 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spice is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Spice into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AC7 with Spice. Below you will find a list of applications that support AC7 files.
Programs to open AC7 file
Remember to download programs supporting AC7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spice with AC7 files
If, despite the installed application, the AC7 file does not start in the Spice application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AC7 file with the Spice application.
Step 3. Update Spice to the latest version
If, however, after binding Spice with SPICE AC/frequence Domain Output there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 AC7 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The AC7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AC7 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AC7 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AC7 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AC7 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AC7 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact National Instruments Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AC7 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AC7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AC7 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AC7 to close. However, some background programs may block the AC7 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
