It was released by u-blox AG.
How to open UBX file?
The most common problem when using U-center UBX GPS Log Data Format is that a specific UBX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UBX, 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 UBX 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 u-center
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that u-center is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing u-center into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file UBX.
Programs to open UBX file
Remember to download programs supporting UBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of u-center with UBX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UBX file still does not use the u-center program, it means no 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UBX file with the u-center program.
Step 3. Update u-center to the latest version
If, however, after binding u-center with U-center UBX GPS Log Data Format 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 u-blox AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UBX 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. This suggests truncating the UBX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 UBX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected UBX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UBX files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UBX 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UBX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the UBX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the UBX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UBX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
