How to open EPH file?
An often recurring problem with GPS Pathfinder Office Ephemeris is that EPH is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EPH, 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 EPH 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 GPS Pathfinder Office
The first step is to check if the computer has the GPS Pathfinder Office program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GPS Pathfinder Office in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EPH with GPS Pathfinder Office. Below is a list of programs that support the file EPH.
Programs to open EPH file
Remember to download programs supporting EPH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GPS Pathfinder Office with EPH files
If, despite the installed application, the EPH file does not start in the GPS Pathfinder Office 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GPS Pathfinder Office application as the default for handling the EPH file.
Step 3. Update GPS Pathfinder Office to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GPS Pathfinder Office program, it is possible that GPS Pathfinder Office Ephemeris requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Trimble Navigation Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EPH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EPH file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EPH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EPH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EPH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EPH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Trimble Navigation Limited help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EPH 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.
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 EPH file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EPH 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 EPH file again. 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.
