How to open IWXDATA file?

The main problem with IWorx Data Format is that the IWXDATA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IWXDATA, 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 IWXDATA 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 LabScribe

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LabScribe is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name LabScribe into the system search engine. 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 IWXDATA files.

Programs to open IWXDATA file

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

Step 2. Create association of LabScribe with IWXDATA files

If, despite the installed application, the IWXDATA file does not start in the LabScribe 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IWXDATA file with the LabScribe application.

Step 3. Update LabScribe to the latest version

If, however, after binding LabScribe with IWorx Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the iWorx website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IWXDATA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IWXDATA file. However, remember that not every infected IWXDATA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IWXDATA file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular IWXDATA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use iWorx Systems help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IWXDATA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IWXDATA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IWXDATA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the IWXDATA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
