.tst File Extension

Developer: Measurement Computing

File type: TestPoint Test File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .tst. Files with the file extension .tst can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .tst files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .tst file?

A TestPoint test file contains instructions and source code for testing programs and measurement applications that were developed using the TestPoint software. These TestPoint test files are integrated with source code data compilation standards proprietary to Measurement Computing, which also developed the TestPoint application. A TestPoint test file is also implemented with encoding specifications used for generating files in the TST format with the use of the TestPoint software. Affixed with the .tst extension, these TestPoint test files store data associated to scientific and mathematical units of measurements, including pressure, speed, voltage and electrical current among other pieces of information. The TestPoint software is mainly used to develop applications intended for the inclusion of features and functionalities required by scientists, engineers and researchers for gathering and analyzing scientific and mathematical data associated to the units of measurement used in tests, experiments and design projects.

how to open a .tst file?

Launch a .tst file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .tst file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .tst files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .tst file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .tst file will open the correct application.

Measurement Computing TestPoint

Measurement Computing TestPoint is an application providing A/D functions to convert data acquisition into simpler form. A/D samples can be offset, scaled, linearized as singular vectors or samples, afterwards these samples are plotted either as a strip chart or static graph. They can also be graphed and displayed using 2 action lines. TestPoint can obtain data using multiple sources while simultaneously processing A/D entries. It can provide D/A cards high-speed control systems for editing and generating arbitrary waveforms allowing digital to analog conversion. TestPoint includes samples for PID control, strip charts, thermocouples and XY charts. It can support all commands and functions of RS232, IEEE-488 and RS485 equipment. TestPoint can support all instruments, commands and functions with the help of GP-IB and RS232. It provides instrument-specific objects such as oscilloscopes, DMM’s, generators and function. Lastly, its Math Object calculate simple to complex formulas with any variables.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .tst files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .tst. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
