How to open BCS file?

The most common problem when using Boland Calibration Settings Format is that a specific BCS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BCS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCS 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 ControllerUtility

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ControllerUtility is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ControllerUtility into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BCS.

Step 2. Create association of ControllerUtility with BCS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BCS file still does not use the ControllerUtility 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. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BCS file with the ControllerUtility application.

Step 3. Update ControllerUtility to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ControllerUtility program with the Boland Calibration Settings Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BCS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BCS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BCS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BCS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BCS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BCS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BCS 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
