Q-DAS Launcher How to open DFQ files with qs-STAT, solara.MP or other Q-DAS application has been a recurring question on the hotline in the past. Unfortunately, the operating system can only associate one application with a file type that will open the file on double-click. This is why the Q-DAS Launcher was developed. The Q-DAS Launcher can be linked to the DFQ and DFD files during installation - or subsequently. In this way, double-clicking on a DFQ or DFD file will open the Q-DAS Launcher, where a Q-DAS product can be specifically selected to analyse the data. The Q-DAS Launcher is the central launch platform for starting the various Q-DAS applications or selecting a different release per product. Link to: Q-DAS Launcher

Properly configured and used, the reports enable evaluation time to be significantly reduced by providing all relevant information at a glance.
