Wave IRIS NOx appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Wave to handle this file. This is a program created by Ricardo plc..

How to open NOX file?

The most common problem when using Wave IRIS NOx is that a specific NOX is not associated with the program. This causes the file NOX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NOX 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 Wave

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

Programs to open NOX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Wave with NOX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NOX file still does not use the Wave program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 NOX file with the Wave program.

Step 3. Update Wave to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Wave program, it is possible that Wave IRIS NOx requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Ricardo plc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NOX 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NOX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NOX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NOX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of NOX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NOX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ricardo plc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NOX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the NOX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NOX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NOX file again. However, some background programs may block the NOX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
