AB SCIEX Windows Interchange Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open WIFF file?

An often recurring problem with AB SCIEX Windows Interchange Format is that WIFF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WIFF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WIFF 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 BioAnalyst Software

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BioAnalyst Software is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BioAnalyst Software 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 WIFF with BioAnalyst Software. Below you will find a list of applications that support WIFF files.

Step 2. Create association of BioAnalyst Software with WIFF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WIFF file still does not use the BioAnalyst Software program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WIFF file with the BioAnalyst Software program.

Step 3. Update BioAnalyst Software to the latest version

If, despite the association of the BioAnalyst Software program with the AB SCIEX Windows Interchange Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AB SCIEX page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WIFF file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 WIFF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WIFF file. Sometimes virus-infected WIFF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WIFF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 WIFF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AB SCIEX
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WIFF 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. It is best to move WIFF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
