What is DMY file?

The file with the extension DMY is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is PhysioNet. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. SEMIA LTST DB Time Series Data is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is SEMIA. This was created by PhysioNet.

How to open DMY file?

The most common problem when using SEMIA LTST DB Time Series Data is that a specific DMY is not associated with the program. This causes the file DMY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DMY 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 SEMIA

The first step is to check if the computer has the SEMIA program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SEMIA in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DMY.

Programs to open DMY file

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

Step 2. Create association of SEMIA with DMY files

If, despite the installed application, the DMY file does not start in the SEMIA application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SEMIA application as the default for handling the DMY file.

Step 3. Update SEMIA to the latest version

If, however, after binding SEMIA with SEMIA LTST DB Time Series Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the PhysioNet website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMY file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The DMY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DMY file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DMY file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DMY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DMY 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 ability to automatically repair DMY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PhysioNet
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DMY 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DMY to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
