What is a PQF file?

PQF files mostly belong to PhotoStage. Presentation Project Files: Some PQF files are built on the Microsoft Compound file structure. They store PhotoStage slideshow project data, including slide images, settings, and timing.

This format embeds several data streams in one container file.

They are used for assembling and managing slideshow presentations.

Power Quality Files: Other PQF files are used to record electrical measurements. They are known as Power Quality Files or PQBOX files made by PQ Systems.

They store power data such as voltage and current details.

This data serves analysis and troubleshooting in power quality studies.

PQF file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening.

PQF is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type includes various formats for various programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

40% of all PQF files start with the bytes PQBOX, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are 48 bytes to 23 MB in size, with a median of 1 MB. It is a modern file type. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as PQBOX. The following filename is common: cyc.pqf or recA.pqf. Files like these are sometimes connected to event, cycp, info, recb and recs.
35% of all PQF files are based on the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also known by the name OLE2 Compound Document Format or Composite Document File Format. This file format is used by previous Microsoft Office programs and other Windows programs and stores the data in complex containers and sections. The first 8 bytes of the CFB format are D0CF11E0A1B11AE1 (which looks like "DOCFILE"). The internal containers are called Slide Show. The files are often between 24 KB and 34 MB in size. An example of a file name is ftmssvr.pqf. These files can be linked to show, silvesterrakete, chapter and slide.
