How can I read my xPC DAT file generated in xPC Target 4.2 (R2009b) without having to launch MATLAB?

I have run my model in xPC target and would like to interpret the DAT file for post-process analysis. I would like to do this without having to launch MATLAB and use the READXPCFILE function. I would like to know if there is a DOS utility function that allows the functionality of READXPCFILE without having to launch MATLAB.

The ability to read a DAT file without using READXPCFILE in MATLAB is not available in xPC Target 4.2 (R2009b).

 As a possible workaround, you may wish to create a MATLAB script that reads the DAT file using READXPCFILE and writes the data to a CSV or MAT file.  You can then call this script via the command line using the the following startup command:

matlab –r <script.m> 

 For further information on starting up MATLAB in batch mode, refer to the the documentation page by executing the following at MATLAB command prompt (R2009b):
