Task 794: .VSQ File Format

Upon conducting an extensive search using available tools, including web searches and page browsing, I have determined that the .VSM file extension is not associated with a single, unique file format. Instead, it is utilized by multiple applications for distinct purposes, such as:

• VisSim (now Altair Embed): For simulation models or block diagrams, often in a text-based configuration format with key-value pairs and comments (e.g., lines starting with "; VisSim Block Diagram Format (VBDF)" and parameters like PN, PT, PI).
• Ventsim: For compressed binary ventilation models in mining simulation software, containing data on airways, fans, resistances, and simulation parameters, but proprietary and not readable by other programs without the software.
• PicoScope: For automotive oscilloscope data, sometimes in XML format with vehicle metadata.
• Vectorworks: For macro scripts.
• Other specialized uses, such as scientific measurement data from vibrating sample magnetometers or sports scouting metadata in JSON.

No detailed, public specifications for the internal structure (e.g., headers, fields, or byte-level layout) of any .VSM variant were found in reliable sources, including software manuals, documentation, or technical repositories. Some formats are text-based or compressed (e.g., GZIP), but without precise schemas, it is not possible to reliably list all intrinsic properties or develop decoding, reading, or writing code.

Due to the absence of a unified specification, I cannot produce a comprehensive list of properties intrinsic to the file format.

No direct, public download links for .VSM files were located. Sample files (e.g., EXAMPLE1.VSM for Ventsim or Embed IoT Studio Publish and Subscribe Example.vsm for Altair Embed) are mentioned in documentation but appear to be bundled with the respective software installations, requiring download and installation of the programs (available from ventsim.com or altair.com/marketplace, respectively) to access them.

3-7. Without a verifiable file format specification, it is not feasible to implement the requested HTML/JavaScript embed, or classes in Python, Java, JavaScript, or C for opening, decoding, reading, writing, and printing properties, as such code would be speculative and potentially inaccurate.

If you can provide additional context or clarification on the specific .VSM format intended (e.g., from a particular application), I would be pleased to refine this analysis.
