What is PEV file?

How to open PEV file?
The most common problem when using CompHEP Output Data Format is that a specific PEV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PEV, 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 PEV 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 CompHEP
In this case, you should first verify that the CompHEP application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CompHEP into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PEV with CompHEP. Below is a list of programs that support the file PEV.
Programs to open PEV file
Remember to download programs supporting PEV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CompHEP with PEV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PEV file still does not use the CompHEP program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PEV file with the CompHEP program.
Step 3. Update CompHEP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CompHEP program, it is possible that CompHEP Output Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PEV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PEV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PEV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PEV 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 PEV file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged PEV files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PEV 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PEV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PEV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PEV file again. However, some background programs may block the PEV file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
