Extract text from Oscilloscope recordings (RCD)
To convert RCD Recordings to another format, you need Rigol UltraScope or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Recording Data File" file type, you need software like Rigol UltraScope or a similar tool.
The .RCD file extension is heavily fragmented and used by entirely different proprietary systems, primarily for storing recorded data. Its most frequent uses include oscilloscope waveform data captured by hardware from Rigol or Agilent, geotechnical analysis data used in Rocscience software, and remote session video recordings generated by RSUPPORT RemoteCall. It is also used as a website project file by the Ambiera RocketCake WYSIWYG editor and as an index file for dashcam DVR systems.
The primary disadvantage of an .RCD file is severe vendor lock-in. Because the format is highly specific to the hardware or software that created it, you generally cannot open an .RCD file without the original application. For example, a dashcam .RCD file is just a proprietary index; it does not contain the actual video and is useless without the accompanying video chunks. Similarly, RSUPPORT video recordings require their proprietary player, and oscilloscope data cannot be easily graphed in standard spreadsheet software without dedicated export tools.
To make this data usable, conversion is strictly required. For oscilloscope and geotechnical data, export or convert to CSV or XLSX for robust data analysis. If your .RCD is a remote session recording, convert it to MP4 for standard playback. For RocketCake projects, you must export the file to standard HTML, CSS, and JS files to host it on a web server. Drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.

Users also converted RCDX, SMF, DL0, SCORE and GTX files.
If you want to convert RCD file to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC, APE or WV, you can use Rigol UltraScope or similar software from the "Proprietary Hardware and Software Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to RCD, try Rigol UltraScope or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Hardware and Software Data" 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 RCD converter.
