What is a PGR file

PGR files mostly belong to Ladybug Tools. PGR files are not one single file type but are used in various specialized applications. The most common version is a Ladybug video file used by Ladybug Tools that works with video data from systems developed by Point Grey Research.
Other variants include:

A JSON-based file holding progress reports or climbing competition results.

A proprietary explosives data file (also known as a PGI-1000 Plasmagram Data file) used in systems like the IonScan 600. More details can be found on the Smiths Detection site.

An XML file that stores PowerGREP search results. Visit PowerGREP for further information.

A file used for grapher Piper Diagrams, typical in geological or chemical data analysis. See RockWorks.

FilExt.com note: Each version is built to hold specific types of data. To correctly open and view a PGR file, use the application intended for that version: specialized video software for Ladybug videos, a text editor for JSON or XML formats, or dedicated analysis software for explosives or diagram data.
