Extract text from models and reports (BUG)
To convert BUG models to another format, you need Esaote CardioXP or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagnostic / Statistical Data" file type, you need software like Esaote CardioXP or a similar tool.
The .BUG file extension is highly fragmented and associated with several completely distinct applications. Most frequently, it functions as a diagnostic bug report archive generated by Esaote CardioXP medical software. Internally, this specific format is actually a standard ZIP file holding diagnostic logs and system data. Alternatively, the extension is used as a plain-text script for Bayesian statistical modeling in academic software like OpenBUGS (formerly WinBUGS). Finally, it also appears as a legacy musical character data file in 1990s edutainment software like Edmark Thinkin' Things.
These formats present severe challenges for standard users. Medical diagnostic .BUG files are completely proprietary and intended strictly for developer debugging. Legacy game files are binary blobs unreadable on modern operating systems. Statistical scripts, while plain text, require specific mathematical environments to execute properly. Users often need to convert these files to extract the underlying text logs (to TXT or CSV) or to decompress the diagnostic payload.
Because .BUG is not a single standardized format, generic online converters will almost always fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file onto convert.guru to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying structure - like a ZIP archive or a plain-text script - viewing the internal content or extracting the files may still be fully possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your BUG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our BUG converter.
