It contains codes that allows a user to bypass some restrictions (e.g. add unlimited lives and unlock weapons) in a game. Another type of CHT file is a list of Chinese noise words stored during a file indexing operation on a Windows machine. Chart FX data visualization tool and SPSS use different formats to save templates in CHT files.
