The PSLX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PSLX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PSLX file on each system platform.
What is PSLX file?
The PSLX file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Manitoba HVDC Research Centre Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Library is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.
How to open PSLX file?
An often recurring problem with PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Library is that PSLX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PSLX 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 PSLX 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 PSCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PSCAD is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PSCAD in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PSLX files.
Programs to open PSLX file
Remember to download programs supporting PSLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PSCAD with PSLX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSLX file still does not use the PSCAD program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PSLX file with the PSCAD program.
Step 3. Update PSCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding PSCAD with PSCAD Power System Simulation Software XML Library there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSLX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PSLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PSLX 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 PSLX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PSLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PSLX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSLX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PSLX 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 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 PSLX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PSLX 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. However, some background programs may block the PSLX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
