What is DTR file?

The DTR file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is AFT. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. DATroniC Data Recording is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open DTR file?

The main problem with DATroniC Data Recording is that the DTR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DTR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTR 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 AFT MARC 4CAN

The first step is to check if the computer has the AFT MARC 4CAN program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AFT MARC 4CAN 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 DTR files.

Programs to open DTR file

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

Step 2. Create association of AFT MARC 4CAN with DTR files

If, despite the installed application, the DTR file does not start in the AFT MARC 4CAN application, you must create a file 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DTR file with the AFT MARC 4CAN program.

Step 3. Update AFT MARC 4CAN to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AFT MARC 4CAN program with the DATroniC Data Recording file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTR 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DTR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DTR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DTR 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 DTR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DTR file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DTR 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 DTR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DTR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DTR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
