Opening an RDT File

The RDT file type is primarily associated with CPS.

What is an RDT file?

RDT files mostly belong to CPS. RDT files serve several functions depending on the software that created them. They are not tied to one single application but instead appear in diverse contexts.

Radio Configuration: Used for radio device setups, these files carry programming data such as channel settings and codeplug parameters. They are common in systems like AnyTone, where the file is managed through Customer Programming Software (CPS) or similar utilities.
Robot Data: Some RDT files hold radar system information and serve as data files in robotics. For more specialized discussion on this use, visit the Robot Forum.
Game Save & Database: A few instances store game save data or act as sequential access database tables.
Statistical and Compressed Data: Other variants carry R statistical data, sometimes compressed using formats like GZIP or ZIP, and are intended for analysis in environments such as RStudio (Posit). There are also examples that use ZIP or zlib compression to store binary data.
Ultrasonic and Medical Data: On rare occasions, the files are employed for storing ultrasonic measurements (as seen with Olympus systems) or even medical documents in specific regional applications.

FilExt.com usage note: To open and view an RDT file, it is important to know which software originally created it. Understanding the file’s context—whether it is intended for radio configuration, robotics, or data analysis—will guide you to the right program for proper handling.

How to open an RDT file

You need a suitable software like CPS to open an RDT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your RDT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a RDT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert RDT files:

CPS
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. RDT files are often referred to as CPS settings because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
RDT Tracking File
(capture design process and manage the system requirements)

RDT file format:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our analysis of the RDT files produces the following result:

You will often come across the RDT file type. This includes various formats for various programs. But the following two file formats are common:

40% of all RDT files use the same file format, which have the signature V1. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The files are 18 KB to 7 MB in size, with a median of 5 MB. The file type is relatively new. The keywords D878UV, F12345 and F123456789ABCDE are typical for these files. These files can be linked to anytone, codeplug, area, plug, tone, code, alinco, california, miklor and wide.
25% of all RDT files start with the bytes DfuSe crucial for this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. Most of these files are 260 KB to 850 KB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. DfuSe, SPI Flash : M25P16 and Target. The following filename is common: default1.rdt.

The remaining 35% of all RDT files are different files with different signatures, the following 7 formats can be found: RDT, DAT, UVE and SURD. These files are often connected to cong, tnhh, room, duoc, radio, thiet or viet. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your RDT file!

How to solve problems with RDT files

Associate the RDT file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open configuration files. Because only the current version supports the latest RDT file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available CPS update.
To make sure that your RDT file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
