How to open DAN file?
The main problem with D-MAS Analysis System Patient is that the DAN file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DAN, 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 DAN 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 D-MAS Desktop

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DAN files.
Programs to open DAN file
Remember to download programs supporting DAN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of D-MAS Desktop with DAN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DAN file to open in the D-MAS Desktop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 D-MAS Desktop application as the default for handling the DAN file.
Step 3. Update D-MAS Desktop to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the D-MAS Desktop program, it is possible that D-MAS Analysis System Patient requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the DanMedical Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DAN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DAN 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DAN or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DAN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DAN file. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DAN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DanMedical Ltd., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DAN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 DAN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DAN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DAN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DAN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
