The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMOD 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 Monarch

Remember to download programs supporting XMOD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Monarch with XMOD files
If, despite the installed application, the XMOD file does not start in the Monarch application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XMOD file with the Monarch application.
Step 3. Update Monarch to the latest version
If, however, after binding Monarch with Datawatch Monarch Model there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Datawatch Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMOD 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XMOD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XMOD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XMOD 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 XMOD 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XMOD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Datawatch Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XMOD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XMOD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XMOD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMOD file again. However, some background programs may block the XMOD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
