What is CR1 file?

The file with the extension CR1 is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is Campbell Scientific, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. LoggerNet CRBasic Source is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use LoggerNet to handle this file. This is a program created by Campbell Scientific, Inc..

How to open CR1 file?

The main problem with LoggerNet CRBasic Source is that the CR1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CR1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CR1 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 LoggerNet

The first step is to check if the computer has the LoggerNet program installed. This can be achieved by typing LoggerNet into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CR1 with LoggerNet. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CR1 files.

Programs to open CR1 file

Remember to download programs supporting CR1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of LoggerNet with CR1 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CR1 file still does not use the LoggerNet program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LoggerNet application as the default for handling the CR1 file.

Step 3. Update LoggerNet to the latest version

If, however, after binding LoggerNet with LoggerNet CRBasic Source there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Campbell Scientific, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CR1 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 CR1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CR1 file. 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 CR1 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CR1 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CR1 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CR1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Campbell Scientific, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CR1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 CR1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CR1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
