What is a VI2 file

VI2 files mostly belong to Testo ComSoft Basic. These VI2 files are internal file formats used by Testo data loggers. They rely on the Microsoft Compound structure to store measurement data from test equipment.
Inside a VI2 file, data is organized into multiple streams that hold measurement values, calibration settings, and system logs.
  • Data logging: The file holds detailed test measurements and instrument logs.
  • Software compatibility: It is specifically designed for viewing and analysis with Testo ComSoft Basic or Testo Saveris 2.
  • Compound file structure: The format allows the file to contain multiple components in a single container.
  • FilExt.com note: For further details, please visit the Testo website.
