Extract text from LDX files
To convert your LDX file to another format, you need MoTeC i2 or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Telemetry & Database" file type, you need software like MoTeC i2 or a similar tool.
The .LDX extension is a classic example of a "collision" where multiple industries use the same three letters for vastly different data structures.
Most commonly (approx. 40%), an .LDX file is a MoTeC Telemetry Log generated by MoTeC i2 data analysis software. These are XML-based files containing vehicle sensor data (RPM, speed, G-force) used in professional motorsport. While XML is technically human-readable, these files are often massive and heavily structured, making them impractical to open in standard text editors like Notepad. Engineers typically need to convert these to CSV or XLSX to manipulate the data in Microsoft Excel or MATLAB without being tethered to the MoTeC environment.
Alternatively, your file might be a Lingoes Dictionary package. These contain compiled definitions and translation data for the Lingoes translator. These are proprietary databases; if you don't have the specific viewer installed, the data is essentially locked away. Users often look to convert these to plain TXT or standard dictionary formats like DIC to migrate their glossaries to more modern tools.
Less frequently, .LDX files serve as firmware containers (internally ZIP) for Schneider Electric Modicon PLCs or layout configurations for LiSEC glass processing software. Because the internal structure varies from plain XML to compressed binary, simply double-clicking usually results in an error. The pragmatic solution is to use a conversion utility to identify the file signature and export the content to a usable format like CSV (for data), PDF (for archiving layouts), or ZIP (to extract firmware payloads).
Convert.Guru analyzes your LDX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted IDX, LD, TST and CLIENT files.
If you want to convert LDX file to , you can use MoTeC i2 or similar software from the "Motorsport Telemetry Logging" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to LDX, try MoTeC i2 or another comparable tool in the "Motorsport Telemetry Logging" 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 LDX converter.
