How to open XOP file?
The most common problem when using IGOR Pro Add-on is that a specific XOP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XOP 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 XOP 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 IGOR Pro

Programs to open XOP file
Remember to download programs supporting XOP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IGOR Pro with XOP files
If, despite the installed application, the XOP file does not start in the IGOR Pro 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XOP file with the IGOR Pro application.
Step 3. Update IGOR Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IGOR Pro program, it is possible that IGOR Pro Add-on requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XOP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XOP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XOP file. Sometimes virus-infected XOP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XOP 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XOP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XOP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the XOP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XOP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
