Extract text from Tekscan pressure recordings (FSX)
To convert FSX recordings to another format, you need Tekscan I-Scan or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Sensor Data File" file type, you need software like Tekscan I-Scan or a similar tool.
An .FSX file primarily stores dynamic pressure measurement data recorded by Tekscan, Inc. hardware, specifically their I-Scan tactile pressure mapping systems. Secondarily, .FSX functions as a Visual F# Script file developed by Microsoft for lightweight code execution without a full project structure.
The Tekscan data file variant presents significant disadvantages: it is a highly proprietary, closed-source binary format. It is completely unsupported by standard web browsers, data analysis tools, or generic spreadsheets. Users who receive these files but lack a costly Tekscan I-Scan software license are locked out of viewing the pressure matrices and sensor readings.
Converting the Tekscan .FSX to open formats like CSV or ASCII is essential to liberate the raw data for analysis in Microsoft Excel or Python. The F# Script variant, on the other hand, is plain text and can be safely renamed or converted to TXT for universal viewing.
Because the Tekscan format is closed and proprietary, standard online converters consistently fail to process it. They lack the specialized decoding algorithms and calibration matrices required to parse the binary sensor data. Often, only the original I-Scan software can properly read or export the structured matrices. Despite these challenges, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file's binary headers, and show internal plain-text content. Just drag and drop your file to see what it is, view embedded data, and convert it if supported.
Convert.Guru analyzes your FSX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TRA, VMD and MPH files.
If you want to convert FSX file to JS, TS, PY, JAVA, CPP, C, CS, PHP, RB, GO, RS or SWIFT, you can use Tekscan I-Scan or similar software from the "Pressure Measurement Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SH, PY, KT, PS1, SWIFT, LUA, PL, JAVA, SCALA, JS, VBS or TS files to FSX, try Tekscan I-Scan or another comparable tool in the "Pressure Measurement Data Storage" 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 FSX converter.
