The AWBS file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AWBS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AWBS file on each system platform.
What is AWBS file?
The file in the AWBS format belongs to the Database Files category. It was designed by Engineering Directorate. Database Files consists of 403 similar files. Data Storage is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Automated Weight and Balance System application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Engineering Directorate.
How to open AWBS file?
The most common problem when using Data Storage is that a specific AWBS is not associated with the program. This causes the file AWBS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AWBS 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 Automated Weight and Balance System
The first step is to check if the computer has the Automated Weight and Balance System program installed. This can be achieved by typing Automated Weight and Balance System into the operating 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 AWBS files.
Programs to open AWBS file
Remember to download programs supporting AWBS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Automated Weight and Balance System with AWBS files
If, despite the installed application, the AWBS file does not start in the Automated Weight and Balance System 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. 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 AWBS file with the Automated Weight and Balance System program.
Step 3. Update Automated Weight and Balance System to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Automated Weight and Balance System program, it is possible that Data Storage requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Engineering Directorate page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AWBS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AWBS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AWBS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AWBS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AWBS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AWBS 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AWBS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Engineering Directorate help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AWBS 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. It is best to move AWBS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AWBS to close. However, some background programs may block the AWBS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
