How to open CHC file?
The main problem with HCFR Colorimeter Data Format is that the CHC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CHC, 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 CHC 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 HCFR Colorimeter
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HCFR Colorimeter is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name HCFR Colorimeter in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CHC with HCFR Colorimeter. Below you will find a list of applications that support CHC files.
Programs to open CHC file
Remember to download programs supporting CHC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HCFR Colorimeter with CHC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CHC file still does not use the HCFR Colorimeter 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HCFR Colorimeter application as the default for handling the CHC file.
Step 3. Update HCFR Colorimeter to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HCFR Colorimeter program with the HCFR Colorimeter Data 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 CHC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CHC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CHC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 CHC file. However, remember that not every infected CHC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CHC files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CHC files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CHC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CHC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 CHC to close. However, some background programs may block the CHC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
