What is MS9 file?
The file in the MS9 format belongs to the CAD Files category. The creator of this file is National Instruments. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files. Multisim 9 Circuit Design Format 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.
How to open MS9 file?
The main problem with Multisim 9 Circuit Design Format is that the MS9 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MS9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MS9 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 Multisim
In this case, you should first verify that the Multisim application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Multisim 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 MS9 with Multisim. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MS9 files.
Programs to open MS9 file
Remember to download programs supporting MS9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Multisim with MS9 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MS9 file to open in the Multisim application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MS9 file with the Multisim program.
Step 3. Update Multisim to the latest version
If, however, after binding Multisim with Multisim 9 Circuit Design Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MS9 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MS9 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MS9 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MS9 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 MS9 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MS9 files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MS9 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MS9 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
