What is a .RDA file?
RDA is an R workspace file, the same format as RData.
- Did you know
- RDA is just a shorter name for an R workspace file.
- An RDA or RData file can hold many R objects at once and, unlike RDS, restores them under their original variable names.
- R has used the same version 2 serialisation behind these files since R 1.4.0 in December 2001, with optional gzip, bzip2 or xz compression.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more scientific, medical and engineering files: R serialized data (RDS/RData), ABIF sequencing traces, VASP/Gaussian/XCrySDen DFT structures, ChemDraw (CDX/CDXML), Axon ABF and NI TDMS instrument data, BrainVision/Neuroscan/EEGLAB EEG, Gmsh/Abaqus/Nastran/ANSYS FEA decks, SPICE netlists, VTK structured/rectilinear grids and oscilloscope waveforms.
- Depth of analysis
- .RDA is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .RDA file
- Drag a .RDA file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
