What is ST9 file?
The file in the ST9 format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is National Instruments Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. SPICE Status is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Spice to handle this file. This is a program created by National Instruments Corporation.
How to open ST9 file?
The most common problem when using SPICE Status is that a specific ST9 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ST9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ST9 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 Spice
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Spice is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Spice into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ST9 with Spice. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ST9 files.
Programs to open ST9 file
Remember to download programs supporting ST9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spice with ST9 files
If, despite the installed application, the ST9 file does not start in the Spice application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 Spice application as the default for handling the ST9 file.
Step 3. Update Spice to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Spice program, it is possible that SPICE Status requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the National Instruments Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ST9 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ST9 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ST9 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ST9 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 ST9 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 option of recovering data from damaged ST9 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting National Instruments Corporation, 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 file ST9 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ST9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ST9 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
