To convert other file formats to the "Multipurpose Data File" file type, you need software like Neoptix or a similar tool.
About TEM files
The .TEM file extension is highly fragmented and serves multiple unrelated software systems. Its most common uses include temperature measurement logs generated by Neoptix fiber-optic sensors, 2D facial feature templates for FaceGen Modeller, terrain maps for the game Star Wars: Empire at War, and survey models in Autodesk software.
Because so many different programs use the .TEM extension, users often struggle to identify and open them. These files are deeply proprietary. If you do not have the specific legacy software or an active, expensive license, the file is locked and useless. Furthermore, raw game files and proprietary sensor logs are never supported by standard web browsers and will block automated data pipelines.
To make .TEM files usable, conversion or data extraction is required. For scientific data logs (Neoptix, Wonderware, EMIT Maxwell), convert the data to CSV or TXT for spreadsheet analysis. For 3D templates (FaceGen, Autodesk), convert to standard formats like OBJ or STL. We identify the internal file signature to determine its true origin and offer the most realistic conversion path.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TEM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert TEM file to SYS, DLL, EXE, DRV, VXD, 386, COM, BAT, CMD, SCR, PIF or LNK, you can use Neoptix or similar software from the "Proprietary Data and Templates" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MSI, EXE, REG, MST, LNK, CAB, CAT, DRV, INF, SYS, MSU or DLL files to TEM, try Neoptix or another comparable tool in the "Proprietary Data and Templates" category.
The TEM 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 TEM converter.
