How to open LCT file?

The most common problem when using Electrical Filter Design is that a specific LCT is not associated with the program. This causes the file LCT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LCT 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 Elsie

In this case, you should first verify that the Elsie application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Elsie in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LCT with Elsie. Below is a list of programs that support the file LCT.

Programs to open LCT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Elsie with LCT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LCT file still does not use the Elsie 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LCT file with the Elsie application.

Step 3. Update Elsie to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Elsie program, it is possible that Electrical Filter Design requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the James L. Tonne website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The LCT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LCT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LCT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LCT 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 LCT file. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LCT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact James L. Tonne
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LCT 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. If possible, you can try to move the LCT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 LCT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
