What is a 180 file?

180 files mostly belong to IMS Firmware Manager. The *.180 file is used in specialized systems as a firmware update file. It is not a document you open in a text editor but a file that carries system data.
Most *.180 files fall into one of these categories:

IMS Firmware / Database Unload: some of these files contain data used to update IMS devices or unload database information.
Motorola S-record Data: some use the Motorola S-record format. These files, sometimes called Thermo Fisher Scientific Raw Files, are used with systems like HP ProCurve Manager for programming hardware.
IMS BIOS Update: some are used as BIOS update files in environments such as 1802 Membership Management.

FilExt.com note: If you have a *.180 file, use the manufacturer’s firmware update tool to open and apply it. Do not try to run or edit the file with common software since it contains low-level data in a specialized format.
Files with the extension 180 are often also jpg images or pdf documents, but zip compressed archives or medical images such as DICOM are also common. Use the Online 180 File Viewer on this page to find out the file format being used, and to view your 180 file.
