What is an XLD file

XLD files mostly belong to Malvern Mastersizer 3000.

Particle Size Distribution Data: Many XLD files store particle size analysis information. They use UTF-16 (LE) encoding and are generated by systems such as Malvern Mastersizer 3000. These files record data used in measuring particle sizes.

PLC Logic Programs: Some XLD files contain Schneider PLC logic written in XML. They are used with platforms like Unity Pro or Schneider Electric Control Expert for industrial control applications.

Excel Add-in Files: A number of XLD files are formatted as Microsoft Compound files. They work as add-in files for Microsoft Excel. Further details can be found on the Microsoft Excel webpage.

Design Data Files: In other cases, XLD files serve as design files used by CAE software such as Xilica Designer. These files may be known as Xilinx Design Files and are used in engineering design contexts.

FilExt.com tip: Each XLD file is built for a specific use, so proper software is needed to view or edit the data stored within.
