You can read the .tim file using
FileObj=fopen(FileName);
FileData=textscan(FileObj, ...
'%s .....', 'delimiter', ',');
then modify your data if you need and then write them into xls by
xlswrite
or
using ActiveX COM object.

fread() can read float32 binary. Watch out for possible differences in byte order.
