How to open PLQ file?

The main problem with TAK 2000 Heat Rate Plot is that the PLQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PLQ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PLQ 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 TAK 2000

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TAK 2000 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TAK 2000 in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PLQ files.

Programs to open PLQ file

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

Step 2. Create association of TAK 2000 with PLQ files

If, despite the installed application, the PLQ file does not start in the TAK 2000 application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TAK 2000 application as the default for handling the PLQ file.

Step 3. Update TAK 2000 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TAK 2000 program with the TAK 2000 Heat Rate Plot 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 K&K Associates page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLQ 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PLQ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PLQ file. Sometimes virus-infected PLQ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLQ 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PLQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting K&K Associates, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PLQ 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 PLQ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PLQ 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
