What is a DFA file

DFA files mostly belong to Defraggler. Your DFA file may not be what you expect. It can be a container for different types of data.
  • One kind stores a Deterministic Finite Automaton using a Microsoft Compound format. In this case, it is an Automation Studio data file used in processes that work with state machines.
  • Another kind holds a Powersoft DSP preset in a .NET based structure. This file contains settings for audio devices.
  • A third type is a compressed image file built as a ZIP archive. Such files are used for CAD by storing a zipped DFA CAD file.
    • For more details on the automation version, visit Defraggler.
    FilExt.com note: Always check the internal format to decide which software you need for opening your file.
