Extract text from trace log files (XTR)
To convert XTR logs to another format, you need Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Diagnostic Trace File" file type, you need software like Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link or a similar tool.
The .XTR file extension is extremely fragmented, acting as a catch-all for various proprietary diagnostic logs, trace files, and data reports. The two most common uses are airline transaction traces generated by Farelogix FLXTrace and engine data recorder reports from Detroit Diesel DDEC systems. Other niche applications include Tadiran Telecom call recordings, Agilent semiconductor measurements, and Xenia Xbox 360 emulator audio streams.
Because .XTR is not a standardized format, it suffers from severe interoperability issues. A single .XTR file could be an XML dataset, plain text, or a compiled binary archive. You cannot open it natively in Windows or macOS, and guessing the parent software is often frustrating. Proprietary viewers like the Agilent B1500A or Farelogix Trace Viewer are usually expensive or locked strictly to enterprise environments.
To make this data usable, conversion is mandatory. For data analysis, convert text-based .XTR files to CSV, XML, or TXT. For telephony and emulator streams, extracting the raw audio to WAV or MP3 is the only way to play it back.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XTR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted TXT, ATD, CLF and GR files.
If you want to convert XTR file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link or similar software from the "Diagnostic Trace and Log Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to XTR, try Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link or another comparable tool in the "Diagnostic Trace and Log Storage" 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 XTR converter.
