To convert other file formats to the "Log and Graph Data File" file type, you need software like T&D Graph or a similar tool.


About TLR files

The .TLR file extension is primarily used for mobile location tracking log files generated by the Tala mobile application. It is also used as a recorded graph data file by hardware data loggers manufactured by T&D Corporation. A third application is storing Time Lapse Recording project data. These files generally contain raw, time-stamped coordinates, environmental sensor readings, or camera timing intervals.

To open or export these files, users typically rely on the original vendor software, such as the proprietary T&D Graph application for environmental logger data.

Users often need to convert .TLR files because they are highly proprietary and restrictive. You cannot open them directly in common spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel or standard text editors. The data is either stored as unreadable binary code or heavily compressed, severely limiting how the information can be shared or analyzed.

The best target formats for conversion are CSV, TXT, or JSON. Converting to these formats makes the raw sensor or tracking data universally readable. Be aware that proprietary formatting, graphical layouts, or specific metadata might be lost during data extraction.

This file format is difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary format. Standard online converters fail to process it because they do not understand the undocumented internal data schemas. Often, only the original hardware or software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible on convert.guru. Because some .TLR files are internally structured as standard GZ (GZIP) archives, our deep analysis can detect this supported embedded format, allowing you to view or extract the underlying plain text or XML contents.

Convert.Guru analyzes your TLR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted JFR, TVR and VRF files.

The TLR 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 TLR converter.
