To convert other file formats to the "Data Logger File" file type, you need software like ConsolePlus or a similar tool.

About CVT files

The .CVT file extension is a classic example of a filename collision, most commonly serving as a proprietary data log from Cryopak Verification Technologies temperature monitors (like the iMini series). These files contain critical cold-chain telemetry used in logistics and pharmaceuticals. The practical constraint is that they are binary blobs; you cannot simply open them in Notepad or Excel. To view the temperature graphs or compliance logs, you typically must install the specific ConsolePlus software, which creates friction for users on mobile devices or computers without administrative install rights.

A significant secondary use case is Simulink Coverage data generated by MATLAB. In this context, the file stores model coverage analysis results needed for validating software logic. These are equally locked down, requiring a licensed MATLAB environment to interpret.

For both formats, the primary conversion goal is data extraction.

For Data Analysis: Convert .CVT to CSV or XLSX. This strips away the proprietary interface and gives you raw numbers for use in Microsoft Excel.
For Compliance/Archiving: Convert to PDF. This preserves the visual graph or coverage report layout for auditing without requiring the original logger software.
For Marine/VDR Files: If your file comes from a ship's Voyage Data Recorder (Danelec), it is likely an encrypted archive requiring specific playback software; standard conversion may result in data loss due to encryption.

Convert.Guru analyzes your CVT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted CSV, GFA, TW, BRN, DCT and PDF files.

The CVT Converter Story

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 CVT converter.
