How to open CUV file?

An often recurring problem with Origin Sample Curve is that CUV is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CUV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUV 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 Origin

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Origin is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Origin in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CUV with Origin. Below you will find a list of applications that support CUV files.

Programs to open CUV file

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

Step 2. Create association of Origin with CUV files

If, despite the installed application, the CUV file does not start in the Origin application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CUV file with the Origin application.

Step 3. Update Origin to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Origin program, it is possible that Origin Sample Curve requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the OriginLab Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CUV 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CUV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CUV file. However, remember that not every infected CUV 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 CUV files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CUV files. You can restore the file from a backup or use OriginLab Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CUV 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. Copying the CUV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. 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.
