What is ONW file?

The ONW file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Omron Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Omron HMI NTST 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. The main program that supports this format is NTST. This was created by Omron Corporation.

How to open ONW file?

The most common problem when using Omron HMI NTST is that a specific ONW is not associated with the program. This causes the file ONW 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 ONW 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 NTST

In this case, you should first verify that the NTST application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NTST 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 ONW files.

Programs to open ONW file

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

Step 2. Create association of NTST with ONW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ONW file to open in the NTST 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 ONW file with the NTST application.

Step 3. Update NTST to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NTST program, it is possible that Omron HMI NTST requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Omron Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ONW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ONW file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ONW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ONW files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ONW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Omron Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ONW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ONW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ONW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ONW file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
