How to open SW9 file?
The main problem with SPICE Sweep Operations Output is that the SW9 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SW9, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SW9 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Spice application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Spice into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SW9 with Spice. Below is a list of programs that support the file SW9.
Programs to open SW9 file
Remember to download programs supporting SW9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Spice with SW9 files
If, despite the installed application, the SW9 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Spice application as the default for handling the SW9 file.
Step 3. Update Spice to the latest version
If, however, after binding Spice with SPICE Sweep Operations Output there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 SW9 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SW9 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SW9 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SW9 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SW9 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SW9 file corruption. 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 SW9 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. 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 SW9 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SW9 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SW9 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
