Opening a GCR File
The GCR file type is primarily associated with Ghostscript.
What is a GCR file?
GCR files mostly belong to Ghostscript. GCR files serve multiple specific functions. They are not one standard type but come in different forms based on the producing software.
Image Files:
Some GCR files are created as PNG image files. These follow a raster graphics format often generated by Ghostscript and can be opened with image tools like GIMP. For more details, visit Ghostscript. Instrument Data Files:
Other GCR files store measurement data from devices such as Gossen Metrawatt equipment or cutting plotters used by systems like Graphing Calculator 3D. These files package technical data in a binary format. Gas Chromatography Files:
A further group of GCR files holds chromatography results. They use the Microsoft Compound File structure to record gas chromatogram data, and are used with software such as Agilent ChemStation. More information is available at Agilent. FilExt.com note: The internal structure depends on its source. Although all are binary files, the content ranges from raster images to detailed instrument or analytical reports.
