How to open QLD file?
An often recurring problem with MassLynx Quantation Data is that QLD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open QLD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QLD 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 MassLynx
The first step is to check if the computer has the MassLynx program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MassLynx in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file QLD with MassLynx. Below you will find a list of applications that support QLD files.
Programs to open QLD file
Remember to download programs supporting QLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MassLynx with QLD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QLD file to open in the MassLynx application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MassLynx application as the default for handling the QLD file.
Step 3. Update MassLynx to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MassLynx program, it is possible that MassLynx Quantation Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Waters website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QLD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QLD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the QLD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QLD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected QLD 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 QLD 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QLD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Waters help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QLD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move QLD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 QLD file again. 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.
