How to open PIA file?
The main problem with PanaVue ImageAssembler is that the PIA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PIA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PIA 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 PanaVue ImageAssembler

Programs to open PIA file
Remember to download programs supporting PIA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PanaVue ImageAssembler with PIA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PIA file to open in the PanaVue ImageAssembler application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PIA file with the PanaVue ImageAssembler application.
Step 3. Update PanaVue ImageAssembler to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PanaVue ImageAssembler program with the PanaVue ImageAssembler file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PanaVue Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PIA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PIA or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PIA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PIA 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PIA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use PanaVue Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PIA 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PIA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PIA file again. However, some background programs may block the PIA file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
