Extract text from data logs and catalogs (ZDX)
To convert ZDX files to another format, you need Thermo King Spectrum Logger or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Log" file type, you need software like Thermo King Spectrum Logger or a similar tool.
A .zdx file is primarily a proprietary data log generated by refrigerated trailers equipped with Thermo King tracking systems. These files record critical temperature history and operational metrics required for transport compliance. Secondary uses include media catalogs for Zoner software, movie thumbnail caches for Coollector Movie Database, and game dialogue files for legacy titles like Zanzarah and ZDoom.
Users often need to convert .ZDX files to prove temperature compliance to auditors, clients, or health agencies. However, the format is highly restrictive. It requires specialized, expensive industry software to read natively. Standard spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel cannot parse the raw binary data. Converting to universal formats like CSV, TXT, or PDF is crucial for sharing audit logs across supply chains without forcing every recipient to install Thermo King management tools.
Converting these files using standard online tools usually fails. The .zdx format is proprietary and closed, meaning its internal structure is undocumented. Often, only the original hardware or specialized viewer can export the data accurately. Our platform can inspect the file's hex data, reveal readable plain text fragments, and potentially extract embedded data if standard underlying structures are detected.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ZDX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted MDX, ROW, PTS and ATP files.

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 ZDX converter.
