Extract text from DFG files
To convert your DFG file to another format, you need Dynon SkyView or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Industrial Configuration File" file type, you need software like Dynon SkyView or a similar tool.
The .dfg extension primarily serves two distinct, high-value industrial sectors: avionics and automation. Most commonly, it represents configuration or data files for Dynon Avionics SkyView systems (e.g., the SkyView HDX), used to store engine monitoring settings, sensor definitions, or flight deck configurations. These files are essential for pilots and mechanics to back up system states or transfer setups between aircraft, but they are often proprietary binary or structured text blobs that Microsoft Notepad displays as garbled code.
Alternatively, in industrial automation, a .dfg file acts as a data log for Rotork IQ intelligent actuators. Engineers use these logs to diagnose valve performance and torque history. The core friction for both user bases is the "black box" nature of the format; without the specific manufacturer software (like Rotork Insight or Dynon's tools), the data is inaccessible.
For analysis and reporting, the best workflow is converting these proprietary data dumps into human-readable formats. For Rotork logs, converting to CSV or XLSX is critical for trending data in Microsoft Excel. For Dynon configs, converting to TXT or JSON allows for easier version comparison, while PDF is ideal for archiving maintenance records.
Convert.Guru analyzes your DFG file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DWG, ANOM, SVB and HAT files.
If you want to convert DFG file to XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS, CSV, TSV, TAB, DIF, SLK, WK1 or WK3, you can use Dynon SkyView or similar software from the "Avionics System Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert WQ1, XLSM, NOTES, QPW, WK3, WB2, WKS, XLSB, 123, XLS, WB1 or XLSX files to DFG, try Dynon SkyView or another comparable tool in the "Avionics System Configuration" 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 DFG converter.
