Extract text from Test script files (TSP)
To convert TSP Scripts to another format, you need Concorde TSP Solver or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Optimization Data File" file type, you need software like Concorde TSP Solver or a similar tool.
The .tsp extension is primarily associated with Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP) data files formatted according to the TSPLIB standard. These plain text files contain coordinates, distances, and parameters used by solvers like the Concorde TSP Solver for combinatorial optimization. Another common use is for Test Script Processor (TSP) scripts utilized by Keithley Instruments to automate industrial testing equipment. Additionally, the extension is used by National Instruments TestStand for project files, and historically by Microsoft Windows TAPI as compiled Telephony Service Provider drivers (which are actually EXE or DLL files in disguise).
Users often need to convert .tsp files because they are tied to niche academic or industrial software. TSPLIB files and Keithley scripts are plain text, making them simple to view but difficult to parse into structured databases without writing custom code. Meanwhile, TestStand project files and Windows TAPI drivers are proprietary binaries that cannot be casually converted. Standard online converters fail to process these files because they lack the specific parsers required for industrial equipment formats or specialized mathematical libraries.
If your .tsp file is plain text, the best target formats are standard TXT, CSV, or JSON for easier data manipulation in Python or Microsoft Excel. Binary .tsp files cannot be easily migrated to modern documents or images.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert due to its fragmentation across vastly different industries (academic mathematics, hardware testing, and telecommunications). Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying structure or embedded text, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your TSP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TSF, STP, ZIP, DLL, TSX, ATSP, TOC, FMA and MG files.
If you want to convert TSP file to MG, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV or ASF, you can use Concorde TSP Solver or similar software from the "Mathematical Data & Automation Scripts" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MTS, MOV, RMVB, DIVX, RM, H264, TS, WMV, VOB, MP4, XVID or AVI files to TSP, try Concorde TSP Solver or another comparable tool in the "Mathematical Data & Automation Scripts" 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 TSP converter.
