Thread Subject: Reading Labview binary file using Matlab

I need to know how I can read a Labview log file(binary
format) using matlab.

I tried using fread using the 'ieee-be' option. But so far
I have been unsuccessful in reading it correctly. I can
read but I am reading a set of bizzare numbers. And I know
the log file has both multi channeled time series data
(with a timestamp) and some acquisition related
information.

Please help.

Is your data stored in their TDMS data format?

Mr. Rob
I appreciate your time to help me with my problem. I dont
know what is TDMS format. Is there any easy way I can find
that out.

The readme file that came with my inquiry about the log
file is:
****************
The file structure starts with the header information
until the code word DATA: and then data follows in binary
format.
The data is written in 4 Bytes per datapoint per channel
plus one datapoint for the timestamp. For instance you
have 32 channels. One dataset will be then 33 * 4 Byte.
The timestamp is the first value (4 Byte) following
by the 32 datapoints (32*4 Byte) for each channel. You
must write a read procedure that do the steps backward.

Please let me know if you want any more information.

Thanks
Rajesh
