What is a TGT file

TGT files mostly belong to ResScan.

TGT files store target data used by various specialized programs. Their content depends on the application that created them and can range from configuration settings to build instructions and waypoint data.

  • CPAP Machine Data: This file is used by ResScan to hold configuration settings for CPAP machines. For more details, visit ResMed.
  • Simulation Build Target: An XML-based TGT file guides build processes in train simulation software like Trainz Simulator. See more at Trainz Portal.
  • Autorun Message: Some TGT files carry CD autorun messages. They may include compiled AutoIt3 scripts, as seen in products by Titr. Check details at Titr CD/DVD Protection.
  • Translation Target Data: These files store target text for summarization or machine translation tasks. OpenNMT-py uses this type of TGT file. More information is available at OpenNMT.
  • BD FACSDiva Target File: Utilized in .NET environments, this file supports BD FACSDiva operations in systems managed by DxFLEX.
  • Test Data File: TGT files can contain test structures for exam or assessment systems like TestGen Pro and ExamView. Visit Pearson for further insights.
  • GPS Waypoint File: Some TGT files hold geophysical survey data or GPS waypoints for navigation in Hypack systems. See more at Hypack.

FilExt.com tip: The file structure may be plain text, XML, or a .NET assembly, and it is best viewed with the original application. Using a text editor can help reveal its structure if the format is simple.

How to open a TGT file

You need a suitable software like ResScan to open a TGT 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 TGT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TGT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below is our analysis of the TGT files:
