What Is the File Extension Slw?

Although file extensions are used by computers to associate files with their respective programs, extensions are not always unique to one particular program. An example of this is the .slw file extension, which is used for two different types of files.

Identification

A file with the .slw file extension is either a Settler LITE data file or a SleepScan Analysis Offset index file.

Source

Settler Lite data files are created by the accounting program Settler Lite, which was developed by Settler Computer Technologies Inc. A SleepScan Analysis Offset index file is used by Bio-logic Sleep Scan technology created by Natus.

Function

Settler Lite data files contain financial information, such as a profit or loss statement or bank reconciliation document. A SleepScan Analysis Offset index file is used to interpret results from a sleep study.

Use

Settler Lite data files are typically used in the agricultural industry for financial reporting of farmers. SleepScan Analysis Offset index files help physicians and nurses see how much oxygen a patient has in their bloodstream during sleep as well as monitor heart rate and brain wave activity.

Systems

Settler Lite data files are available only for Windows-based computers.
