What is a PBX file?

PBX files mostly belong to Smart Coach. PBX files are used in several specific ways, depending on the internal format.

• XML variant: Stores a basketball training plan in XML form. It is managed by Smart Coach and can be opened with a text editor or the dedicated application to view training details.
• EXE variant: Is a Windows executable file that functions as a dynamic library in PowerBuilder applications. For more details, visit the PowerBuilder website. This file must be run in a Windows environment.
• Bio-Plex variant: Contains experimental data as used by Bio-Plex Manager. It stores parameters from a Bio-Plex experiment and can only be viewed with proper analysis software.

FilExt.com tip: Each type requires its own application. Check the file's internal structure to choose the proper tool for opening or editing it.

How can I open a PBX file?

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

PBX format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open 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, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the PBX files:

The PBX file extension is not widely used. Such a file is used by a few programs, each with its own file format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 40% of all PBX files use the popular 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 content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. The files are on average 9 MB in size and range from 16 KB to 54 MB. The file type is a fairly new file format. The keywords <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>, <step xmlns:ns2="nodeList">, <fieldViewHelper>, <nodeList>, <id></id>, <image></image> and <tipo></tipo> are typical for these files. A usual file name is PianoAllenamento_Costruzione difesa a uomo_2020-06-01.pbx. Files like these are about allenamento, piano, step, difesa, costruzione, contro, uomo and individuale.
• 15% of all PBX files internally utilize the EXE file format. EXE is the abbreviation for executable and is the standard executable file format on Windows. The format can be identified by the letters "MZ" at the beginning. Executable files can also be used to distribute viruses and other types of malicious software (malware). They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. PBX files can be up to 3 MB in size, but are often around 53 KB - 1 MB. The keywords !This program cannot be run in DOS mode are typical for these files. A usual file name is Canvas.pbx or pbnismtp.pbx. These files are often associated with pbwsclient and pbdom.

All other PBX files (45%) have different formats, the following 6 formats can be found: GZIP, ZIP and Pandora. These files are often connected to protocol, fondamentali, preparazione, esercizi, attacco, fisica, system, plate or tiro.
