Canberra CNF files store spectral measurement data recorded with the Genie 2000 radiation spectroscopy software in an undocumented binary format. The cnf2txt converter extracts the spectral data from a cnf file and stores it in a human-readable text format.

Since the conversion is based on reverse-engeneering of only a small set of sample files, it may not work correctly for your CNF files. If you come across a file that does not convert correctly, I would be obliged if you could send me copy.

• cnf2txt.exe Executable binary (Windows)
• cnf2txtall.bat Batch file (Windows). Converts all .cnf files in the current directory.
• cnf2txtall Batch file (Linux). Converts all .cnf files in the current directory.
• cnf2txt.c Source code (system independent).

Copy the files cnf2txt.exe and cnf2txtall.bat to the Windows system path (typically C:\WINDOWS) or to the folder containing the data files.

gcc -o cnf2txt cnf2txt.c
chmod +x cnf2txtall
sudo cp cnf2txt cnf2txtall /usr/local/bin

• Convert a single file: cnf2txt input_file [output_file]
• Convert all files in the current directory: cnf2txtall

• Convert a single file: Drag'n'drop the input .cnf file onto cnf2txt.exe.
• Convert all files in the current directory: Double click on cnf2txtall.bat

Note: Make sure your explorer does not hide the file extensions.
