The LLX file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LLX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LLX file on each system platform.
What is LLX file?
The LLX file has been categorized as Backup Files. The author of this format is National Instruments. Backup Files consists of 243 similar files. LabVIEW VI Library Backup Format is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use LabVIEW to handle this file. This is a program created by National Instruments Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.
How to open LLX file?
An often recurring problem with LabVIEW VI Library Backup Format is that LLX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LLX, 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 LLX 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 LabVIEW
The first step is to check if the computer has the LabVIEW program installed. This can be achieved by typing LabVIEW into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LLX with LabVIEW. Below is a list of programs that support the file LLX.
Programs to open LLX file
Remember to download programs supporting LLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LabVIEW with LLX files
If, despite the installed application, the LLX file does not start in the LabVIEW 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LabVIEW application as the default for handling the LLX file.
Step 3. Update LabVIEW to the latest version
If, however, after binding LabVIEW with LabVIEW VI Library Backup Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the National Instruments Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LLX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LLX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LLX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LLX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LLX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LLX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting National Instruments, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LLX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move LLX 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 you have to wait for the session to the file LLX to close. 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.
