About DEH files

The .DEH file extension is primarily used for two completely unrelated purposes: industrial data logging and retro video game modifications.

For most users, a .DEH file is a data recorder log, device parameter backup, or configuration file created by Endress+Hauser field instruments and data loggers. These files store raw measurement telemetry and hardware settings. For a smaller segment of users, a .DEH file is a patch file created by the DeHackEd utility to modify the engine behavior of the classic 1993 game Doom.

Industrial .DEH files are heavily restricted by vendor lock-in. Because they are proprietary binary files, you cannot easily open them in standard spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel. Users are typically forced to install specific, expensive industrial software to read their own telemetry. Game patch .DEH files are much simpler and often consist of plain text instructions for the game engine.

Professionals usually need to convert industrial .DEH logs to CSV, XML, or TXT to perform independent data analysis or generate reports. Doom players may convert their patches to advanced BEX formats.

Because the industrial .DEH format is closed and undocumented, standard online converters fail to process it. Often, only the original Endress+Hauser software can properly read or export the data safely. However, with convert.guru, you can just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

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.
