All about ST Files

The ST file type is primarily associated with MATLAB.

File extension: ST
File type:  sleep/apnea annotations

What is an ST file?

ST files mostly belong to MATLAB by MathWorks. An ST file contains sleep/apnea annotations bundled with electrocardiogram recordings saved as part of MIT-BIH Polysomnographic Database. MATLAB development environment can load and visualize data saved in such files. A different ST file contains a database definition created by OpenEdge database management system. Another type of ST file is a program written in Smalltalk programming language. ST is also the filename extension of a disk image containing a program or video game built for Atari ST personal computer. Atari ST is discontinued but various Atari emulation programs can load an ST file containing a disk image.

How to open ST files

You need a suitable software like MATLAB to open an ST file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your ST file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ST file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

ST file format:

To find out what program is needed to open ST files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the ST files:

You will often come across the ST file type. This covers a large number of different file formats. The file formats most commonly found in ST files are:

All the rest of the ST files (82%) have different formats, often, for example, ZIP, state and time. Files like these are sometimes linked to state, global, tranem, gabe, node, manifest, signal or disk. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your ST file!

an st sleep/apnea annotation is a special file format by MathWorks and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with ST files

  • Associate the ST file extension with the correct application.
  • Update your software that should actually open sleep/apnea annotations. Because only the current version supports the latest ST file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the MathWorks manufacturer website after an available MATLAB update.
  • To make sure that your ST file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
  • Click here to open your .ST file online - secure, fast, and no downloads needed.
