These files capture an exact copy of a disk or partition and store low-level sector data and metadata for repair and recovery tasks. To view these files, you must use recovery software such as Hetman Partition Recovery. For more information, visit Hetman Recovery.
  • XML-based Data Acquisition: Some DAI files use an XML format to store measurement data from LabVIEW data acquisition systems. These files typically contain structured data that can be opened with LabVIEW or any standard XML/text editor.
  • FilExt.com tip: The file type you have depends on its origin. Use the matching application to safely access and review your file's content.
