How to open AC8 file?
The most common problem when using SPICE AC/frequence Domain Output is that a specific AC8 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AC8, 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 AC8 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. To do this, enter the name Spice into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support AC8 files.
Programs to open AC8 file
Remember to download programs supporting AC8 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spice with AC8 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AC8 file still does not use the Spice program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Spice application as the default for handling the AC8 file.
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. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the National Instruments Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AC8 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AC8 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AC8 file. Sometimes virus-infected AC8 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AC8 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 AC8 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 AC8 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. If possible, you can try to move the AC8 file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the AC8 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
