Description: 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.; An XLSX file is an Excel spreadsheet created by Microsoft Excel or another spreadsheet program, such as OpenOffice Calc or Apple Numbers. It stores data in worksheets, which contain cells arranged in a grid of rows and columns, and may also contain charts, mathematical functions, styles, and formatting. XLSX files are commonly used to store financial data and to create simple or complex mathematical models.

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.
