What is an RTR file?

RTR files mostly belong to Vector CANoe/CANalyzer. RTR files are trace recording files used to log captured system events and signal data.
In some systems, these files come from Rohde & Schwarz Trace Recorders that record AUTOSAR trace data, often analyzed with tools like Vector CANoe/CANalyzer.
In other cases, they are generated as Radio Traffic Recorder files by systems such as RecTrace to capture radio network activity.
  • Test and Measurement: They record time-based events and signal details for technical analysis.
  • Radio Traffic Analysis: They log transmission data for reviewing radio and network communications.
  • FilExt.com note: Each RTR file stores data in a binary format that requires vendor-specific software for proper viewing. For further details, visit Vector's webpage or Rec.net.

    How can I open an RTR file?

    You need a suitable software like Vector CANoe/CANalyzer to open an RTR 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.
