- Triton (eXtended Triton Format file) by TritonXTF graphic files contain the contents of the extended Triton format file. The usage of XTF for the purpose of survey in the hydrographic industry is very common. Although the Triton application no longer seems to be supported on any operating system.

XTF file format:
The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our analysis of the XTF files produces the following result:
The XTF file type covers different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

The file name 20180601H.xtf or NBP20180601A.XTF is characteristic of these files. Files like these are sometimes connected to sonar, data and line.
- 15% of all XTF files start with the bytes TIFF/HEX crucial for this file format. These files contain text and words as well as binary data. The files are often between 430 KB and 9 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. TIFF/HEXTTSM4, !!!;Created!Aby!AAccuSoft!ACorp.!!, !$!1JFIF!!!"!!!"!! and HEXII. Examples of file names are image.xtf.
The remaining 60% of all XTF files are different files with different signatures, the following 9 formats exist: Xbox Font, XML, TIFF, config, ftypjp and FORM.
