how to import IPEtronik files with *.ZIPRT extension into MATLAB and using it for data processing?

Currently, there is no way to import directly *.ZIPRT file (the output file for IPETronik measurement data logger in MATLAB) like other types of all supported format listed, I need to do this to have access to the content of the file to proess data. If there is anyway or toolbox to import these kind of files either directy or indirectly, that would be great. Thanks.

Hi Ashkan,

I understand that you are trying to import ‘.ZIPRT’ file to MATLAB. It is possible to read a ‘.ZIPRT’ file in MATLAB by using the built-in unzip function to extract the contents of the archive, and then importing the resulting file(s) using one of the supported import functions.

I hope this answers your query.

Thanks Rijuta for your answer on my enquiry. Yes, that was helpful but just part of it. The issue now is that when I unzip the ZIPRT file, the contents included batch of files with *.cha extension and one file with *.ird extension. Both these files are not supported by import function and also is not in the list of supported files in MATLAB. Is there any solution for this to be able to import it?, the nature fo these files is a data reading from multiple source of sensors which is logged by dataloggers. Currently, the only way to import this kind of files is to using the only supporting software "IPEmotionRT" to convert *.ZIPRT files into *.mat files and then import them into MATLAB. This is a time-consuming process and also made it as indirect import which can cause occasianlly some loss or irregular syncronization in the process of conversion. So finding out the direct importing solution would be the best (if it is possible - which I believe this can be possible for MATLAB). Thanks.

I appreciated your time and support on my enquiry.

Regards.
