How to open XRDML file?
The most common problem when using PANalytical XRD Measurement Data XML is that a specific XRDML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XRDML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XRDML 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 PANalytical HighScore
The first step is to check if the computer has the PANalytical HighScore program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PANalytical HighScore in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XRDML with PANalytical HighScore. Below you will find a list of applications that support XRDML files.
Programs to open XRDML file
Remember to download programs supporting XRDML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PANalytical HighScore with XRDML files
If, despite the installed application, the XRDML file does not start in the PANalytical HighScore application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PANalytical HighScore application as the default for handling the XRDML file.
Step 3. Update PANalytical HighScore to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PANalytical HighScore program with the PANalytical XRD Measurement Data XML file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the PANalytical B.V. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XRDML file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the XRDML 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 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XRDML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XRDML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XRDML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 XRDML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting PANalytical B.V., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XRDML 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move XRDML to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XRDML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XRDML to close. However, some background programs may block the XRDML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
