What is a CSA file?
A CSA file is a game archive used by various games built with the Pixel Tales game engine, such as the horse-themed Star Stable Online, Star Academy, and Star Stable games. It stores multiple game data files, which typically include .PME, .PMT, .PTE, and PCO files that may contain 3D models and textures, audio, game scripts, and UI elements. CSA files are compressed and encrypted to reduce the size of the game data files and protect them from being modified.
More Information
You will most likely only encounter CSA archive files if you play a game built with the Pixel Tales game engine, such as Star Stable, and are looking for game data files in the installation directory on your computer. For example, you can find CSA files in the following installation directory for Star Stable in Windows:
C:\Program Files\Star Stable Online\PackFiles
How to open a CSA file
CSA files are not meant to be opened by a user. Instead, the game the file is packaged with references the CSA file to load its data. However, if you want to modify elements in the game, you can extract the contents of a CSA archive with QuickBMS in Windows.

A CSA file may also be a Cal/State/Archive (CSA) data file saved by Agilent and Keysight Precision Network Analyzer (PNA) instruments. It is a binary file that packages the instrument's state settings and actual calibration data (Cal Sets) for all active channels into a single archive. The CSA format ensures accurate data retention, which is necessary to maintain consistent measurements.
More Information
Technicians and engineers primarily use CSA files within fields related to radio frequency and network analysis. For example, engineers may use CSA files to preserve instrument configurations and calibration data for radio frequency (RF) and network analysis measurements.
By storing both types of information together, CSA files allow users to restore an instrument's state and associated calibration data when needed. CSA files typically reside in directories where users manage test data and calibration files, helping ensure configurations and settings are consistent across different tests or equipment setups.
How to open a CSA file
You can open CSA files with Keysight PNA Series Network Analyzer software, which runs on compatible Agilent and Keysight Precision Network Analyzer (PNA) instruments. The software lets you recall a saved instrument state, including calibration data and configuration settings.
