How to open SX file?
An often recurring problem with SimplexNumerica Data Format is that SX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SX 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 SimplexNumerica
The first step is to check if the computer has the SimplexNumerica program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SimplexNumerica in it.

Programs to open SX file
Remember to download programs supporting SX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SimplexNumerica with SX files
If, despite the installed application, the SX file does not start in the SimplexNumerica application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SX file with the SimplexNumerica program.
Step 3. Update SimplexNumerica to the latest version
If, however, after binding SimplexNumerica with SimplexNumerica Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SX file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SX 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.
