How to open PLMX file?

An often recurring problem with PDXpert Data Format is that PLMX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PLMX, 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 PLMX 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 PDXpert

In this case, you should first verify that the PDXpert application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PDXpert into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PLMX files.

Programs to open PLMX file

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

Step 2. Create association of PDXpert with PLMX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PLMX file still does not use the PDXpert 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 PLMX file with the PDXpert program.

Step 3. Update PDXpert to the latest version

If, however, after binding PDXpert with PDXpert Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Active Sensing, Inc. page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The PLMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PLMX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PLMX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PLMX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of PLMX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PLMX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PLMX 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PLMX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PLMX to close. However, some background programs may block the PLMX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
