What is EWT file?

The EWT file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is EW Avionics. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. EWView Trace 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 EWView for MS-DOS application is recommended to open the file. It was released by EW Avionics.

How to open EWT file?

The most common problem when using EWView Trace Data is that a specific EWT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EWT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EWT 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 EWView for MS-DOS

The first step is to check if the computer has the EWView for MS-DOS program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EWView for MS-DOS 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 EWT files.

Programs to open EWT file

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

Step 2. Create association of EWView for MS-DOS with EWT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EWT file still does not use the EWView for MS-DOS program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EWView for MS-DOS application as the default for handling the EWT file.

Step 3. Update EWView for MS-DOS to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the EWView for MS-DOS program, it is possible that EWView Trace Data requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EW Avionics website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EWT 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 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EWT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EWT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EWT 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EWT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use EW Avionics help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EWT 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.
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 EWT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EWT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EWT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
