Tips to open BIN3 file
Can't open the BIN3 file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open BIN3 files as well as a list of programs that support BIN3 files.

The BIN3 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BIN3 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BIN3 file on each system platform.
What is BIN3 file?
The file with the extension BIN3 is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is National Instruments Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. LabVIEW Data is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use LabVIEW to handle this file. This is a program created by National Instruments Corporation.
How to open BIN3 file?
The most common problem when using LabVIEW Data is that a specific BIN3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file BIN3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BIN3 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 LabVIEW
In this case, you should first verify that the LabVIEW application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LabVIEW in it. 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 BIN3 files.
Programs to open BIN3 file
Remember to download programs supporting BIN3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LabVIEW with BIN3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIN3 file still does not use the LabVIEW 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LabVIEW application as the default for handling the BIN3 file.
Step 3. Update LabVIEW to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LabVIEW program with the LabVIEW Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the National Instruments Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIN3 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to BIN3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BIN3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BIN3 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 BIN3 file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BIN3 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 BIN3 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BIN3 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
