How to open VHM file?
The main problem with HotMux Thermocouple Data Log is that the VHM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that VHM 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 VHM 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 HotMux
The first step is to check if the computer has the HotMux program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name HotMux in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VHM with HotMux. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VHM files.
Programs to open VHM file
Remember to download programs supporting VHM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HotMux with VHM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VHM file still does not use the HotMux program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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 VHM file with the HotMux program.
Step 3. Update HotMux to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HotMux program with the HotMux Thermocouple Data Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DCC Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VHM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to VHM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VHM file. However, remember that not every infected VHM 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 VHM 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VHM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DCC Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted VHM 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move VHM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VHM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the VHM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
