How to open RQTF file?

An often recurring problem with NI Requirements Gateway Project Format is that RQTF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RQTF 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 RQTF 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 NI Requirements Gateway

In this case, you should first verify that the NI Requirements Gateway application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NI Requirements Gateway 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 RQTF files.

Programs to open RQTF file

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

Step 2. Create association of NI Requirements Gateway with RQTF files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RQTF file to open in the NI Requirements Gateway application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RQTF file with the NI Requirements Gateway application.

Step 3. Update NI Requirements Gateway to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NI Requirements Gateway program with the NI Requirements Gateway Project Format 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 National Instruments Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The RQTF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RQTF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 RQTF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RQTF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RQTF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RQTF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RQTF 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RQTF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RQTF 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.
