Opening a DLV File
The DLV file type is primarily associated with Danfoss Logger Viewer.
What is a DLV file?
DLV files mostly belong to Danfoss Logger Viewer. The DLV file extension serves two distinct purposes.
One type uses the Microsoft Compound format and is identified as a Danfoss Log Viewer data file. It holds log data from industrial or process control systems and organizes multiple data streams. You can view this file with the Danfoss Logger Viewer from Danfoss. The other type employs the XML format and is recognized as a Dell License File. This file carries license information managed by software like Quest Software License Manager. Details about its structure and use are available at Quest. The same extension is used for both log data and license data. Checking the file’s internal format (whether it resembles a compound file or XML structure) helps decide which application to use.
Simple tips: inspect the file with a text or XML editor if unsure, and use the dedicated viewer to avoid data corruption.

How to open DLV files
You need a suitable software like Danfoss Logger Viewer to open a DLV 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 DLV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a DLV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert DLV files:
- Danfoss Logger Viewer
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. DLV files are often referred to as Danfoss Logger Viewer data files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- CATIA (Export File) by Dassault SystèmesCATIA is an integrated suite of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) applications for digital product definition and simulation. CATIA is the product design solution in the PLM offering. It allows manufacturers to simulate all the industrial design processes, from the pre-project phase, through detailed design, analysis, simulation, assembly and maintenance. This software, made by Dassault Systèmes, is distributed by IBM as part of their Product Lifecycle Management system. Related links: IBM Product Lifecycle Management
DLV file format:
If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. Often, the file format can be deduced from the file extension or the initial bytes (called the signature). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the DLV files looks like this:
The DLV file extension is not common and is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 35% of all DLV files internally use the Microsoft Compound File format, also known as Composite Document File format or OLE2 compound document format. Microsoft Compound File is a complex container format used by some versions of Microsoft Office and other Windows-centric applications. It has features similar to those of a filesystem format. Compound files always start with the bytes ÐÏࡱá (hex code D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1). They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are on average 230 KB in size and range from 21 KB to 2 MB. The file type was developed 20 years ago and is still in use today. These files are often associated with dataset, temperaturen and data.
- 15% of all DLV files save the data in XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The files are often between 570 bytes and 1 KB in size. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, <License Generator="File", <LicenseFile>, <Licenses>, GeneratorVersion and Signature. These files can be linked to capacity.
All the rest of the DLV files (50%) have different formats. Often described as metalogix, content, matrix, ueben or cisc. You can get all the details of your DLV file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .dlv file to analyze" above.

How to solve problems with DLV files
- Associate the DLV file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest DLV file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available Danfoss Logger Viewer update.
- To make sure that your DLV file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
