Open WFM File

WFM extension files can be used for various applications, depending on their format.

Pro Tools

In this case, the WFM file is a file generated by Pro Tools, a professional audio recording, editing, and mixing application.

More about Avid Pro Tools

Pro Tools is digital audio workstation (DAW) software that, through this PTX file, supports audio tracks, MIDI, and software instruments, as well as effects, mixing settings, and other edits.

The WFM file saves the waveform information that Pro Tools has calculated for the audio files.

Similarly, the WFM file allows Pro Tools to preview the waveform in software.

WFM files act as a cache so that Pro Tools does not have to recalculate audio shape information each time a session is opened.

WFM files are stored in the same directory where PTX or PTF extension Pro Tools session files are stored.

Tektronix

In this application, WFM extension files take on a data file format created by Tektronix oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, which are used to test electronic circuits and signal voltages.

The WFM file saves signal information as well as device display information.

Typically, a WFM file is used to create time vs. voltage graphs.

On the other hand, WFM files can be opened with WaveStar software and can be converted to other standard formats with Tektronix's WFM Converter for Windows Oscilloscopes.

One of the packages that can indirectly work with a WFM file is MATLAB, since, for example, WFM files are sometimes converted to CSV or tab-delimited text files.

dBASE

In the latter case, a WFM file is a form used to enter and modify data in a dBASE database.

More about dBASE

dBase is a database manager and was one of the first of its kind for microcomputers and the most successful of its time.

The dBase system includes the core database engine, a forms engine, a query system, and a programming language in a single suite.
