Extract text from NDT files
To convert your NDT file to another format, you need Niton Data Transfer or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Scientific Data Log" file type, you need software like Niton Data Transfer or a similar tool.
The .NDT extension is a fragmented format predominantly associated with Thermo Scientific Niton X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, and secondarily with gaming assets for titles like RF Online.
For industrial users, .NDT files contain elemental analysis data generated by handheld Niton analyzers used in mining and scrap metal recycling. The major problem here is proprietary lock-in: these files are binary or semi-structured logs that cannot be opened directly in Microsoft Excel or standard text editors. To make the data usable for reporting, users are forced to use the legacy Niton Data Transfer software to bridge the gap. Users typically need to convert these .NDT logs to CSV or XLSX to perform actual data analysis or archiving.
In the gaming context, .NDT files act as data containers for RF Online (developed by CCR Inc) or Atlantica Online. These are often proprietary texture, mesh, or configuration archives. They are frequently encrypted or compressed to prevent modification, meaning they cannot be edited without specialized, often community-built, unpacking tools. Opening a game .NDT file in a text editor usually displays unreadable garbage characters. For these files, the only practical conversion is extracting the internal assets to standard image formats like PNG or DDS using specific game modding utilities.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NDT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PLAYER, GED and MOM files.
If you want to convert NDT file to CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF, DAT, DB or SQL, you can use Niton Data Transfer or similar software from the "XRF Analyzer Data Log" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to NDT, try Niton Data Transfer or another comparable tool in the "XRF Analyzer Data Log" 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 NDT converter.
