The PIL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PIL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PIL file on each system platform.
What is PIL file?
The file in the PIL format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is CMA Microdialysis AB. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. CMA Microdialysis Trend Data is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The LABpilot application is recommended to open the file. It was released by CMA Microdialysis AB. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use ICUpilot in case LABpilot cannot be used.
How to open PIL file?
The most common problem when using CMA Microdialysis Trend Data is that a specific PIL is not associated with the program. This causes the file PIL 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 PIL 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 LABpilot
In this case, you should first verify that the LABpilot application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LABpilot 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 PIL with LABpilot. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PIL files.
Programs to open PIL file
Remember to download programs supporting PIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LABpilot with PIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PIL file still does not use the LABpilot program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PIL file with the LABpilot program.
Step 3. Update LABpilot to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LABpilot program with the CMA Microdialysis Trend Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CMA Microdialysis AB website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PIL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PIL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PIL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PIL or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PIL 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 PIL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PIL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CMA Microdialysis AB
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PIL 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 PIL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PIL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PIL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
