What is a CSA file?

CSA files mostly belong to PNA Code by Keysight. CSA files are data files developed and saved using the Agilent PNA Code Software. The CSA file is called so because the Calset data is archived with the state.

  • Main Usage: They are called CSA files because they store content with details encoded in the Calset specified format. The CSA files primarily store the measurement information the user enters in the Agilent PNA Code.
  • Associations:
    • Star Stable Online Game Archive: Here, the CSA extension is used as a Game Archive by a horse adventure game call Star Stable online. It contains multiple data files related to the game, including OME, OTE and PCO files. These CSA files are compresses and encrypted to prevent and modifications in the file as well as reduce its size. The CSA files are not directly opened, but are actually referenced by the game to load the content.
    • Macropool: The CSA file stores document archives and data for the web research software developed by Macropool.
