What is DT4 file?

The file with the extension DT4 is the Misc Files file type. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. BioSonics 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 Echoview.

How to open DT4 file?

An often recurring problem with BioSonics Data is that DT4 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DT4, 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 DT4 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 Echoview

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Echoview is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Echoview in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DT4 files.

Programs to open DT4 file

Remember to download programs supporting DT4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Echoview with DT4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DT4 file still does not use the Echoview program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DT4 file with the Echoview program.

Step 3. Update Echoview to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Echoview program with the BioSonics Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Myriax Software Pty Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DT4 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DT4 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DT4 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DT4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DT4 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DT4 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DT4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DT4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DT4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DT4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DT4 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
