Convert ECE to another file type
To convert your ECE file to another format, you need NOVA or other Data software.
Convert a file to ECE
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Data Model" file type, you need software like NOVA or a similar tool.
About ECE files
A .ECE file is most commonly an Equivalent Circuit Editor file created by Metrohm Autolab (formerly EcoChemie), used to model electrochemical systems. Alternatively, it may be a dynamic web page generated by the Escenic Content Engine.
1. Electrochemistry (The Scientific Use Case): These files store schematic diagrams and parameter definitions for Equivalent Circuits used in Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). They map physical reactions to electrical components (resistors, capacitors, Warburg elements).
The Problem: This is a legacy, proprietary format. Opening it requires specific software like the older EcoChemie FRA or modern NOVA suites, which often require hardware dongles or expensive licenses. You cannot view these models in standard graphing tools like OriginLab or MATLAB.
The Solution: To archive the circuit design or share it with colleagues who lack the software, convert the visual representation to PDF or PNG. For extracting parameters, text-based conversion is necessary.
2. Web Content (The CMS Use Case): Files with this extension also appear as cached web pages or templates from news sites running the Escenic Content Engine.
The Problem: These are often server-side artifacts or download errors. A web browser typically expects HTML or PHP, so it may refuse to render a .ECE file, treating it as unknown binary data.
The Solution: Since the content is usually text-based markup, converting to TXT or simply renaming the file to HTML often makes the content readable in browsers like Chrome or editors like Notepad++.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ECE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert ECE file to HTML, HTM, CSS, JS, PHP, ASP, ASPX, JSP, JSPX, PY, RB or PL, you can use NOVA or similar software from the "Electrochemical Circuit Modeling" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RSS, CSS, CGI, SITEMAP, PL, WEBMANIFEST, JSON, JS, XML, HTML, ICO or HTM files to ECE, try NOVA or another comparable tool in the "Electrochemical Circuit Modeling" category.
The ECE 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 ECE converter.
