What is the difference between .bx and .dat?

Name: Embrilliance BX Font; Barudan Embroidery Format
Extension: .bx; .dat
Format: Binary; Binary
Category: Embroidery; Embroidery
Developer: Embrilliance; Barudan
Description: A BX font is a stitch-based embroidery alphabet from Embrilliance - every letter, digit and punctuation mark already digitized as a finished stitch design in one file, which Embrilliance's lettering tools load as a typeface. Filestar reads each glyph and converts the font to an embroidery design.; The dat file type is a proprietary format used by Barudan embroidery machines. It is a vector-based format used to store embroidery designs, including stitch patterns, color sequences, and other design elements. The file can be converted to other formats, such as DST, EXP, JEF, and PES, for use in other embroidery software programs and machines.
MIME Type: application/octet-stream; application/x-barudan-embroidery

What a conversion keeps

Stitches: Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours: Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops: Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering: Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
