Extract text from Device configuration files (DEH)
To convert DEH Configuration files to another format, you need FieldCare or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Industrial Configuration File" file type, you need software like FieldCare or a similar tool.
.DEH files typically function as proprietary device archives generated by Endress+Hauser industrial instrumentation. These files act as device parameter backups or datalogger records created by software suites like FieldCare or Data Manager. In an industrial setting, these files are critical for restoring sensor configurations (e.g., for flow meters or level sensors) but are notoriously difficult to access outside the manufacturer's ecosystem. They are essentially "locked boxes" of sensor data that cannot be natively opened by standard spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel.
Engineers often face friction when attempting to analyze historical process data or audit device settings because the .DEH format requires the original, often expensive or licensed, configuration software to interpret. To make this data usable for reporting or migration, the best workflow is converting the parsed data into CSV or XLSX for analysis, or PDF for static compliance documentation.
Secondary Use Case: In the context of retro gaming, a .DEH file is a "DeHackEd" patch used to modify the behavior of the original Doom engine. Unlike the industrial format, these are plain text files that modify weapon stats, enemy behavior, or text strings. While modern source ports like GZDoom support them natively, users often convert them into WAD or PK3 archives to bundle them with other mod assets.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DEH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted USR, SVB and EPB files.
If you want to convert DEH file to , you can use FieldCare or similar software from the "Device Parameter Backup" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to DEH, try FieldCare or another comparable tool in the "Device Parameter Backup" category.
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 DEH converter.
