Didn't you read the information given in the link? 

" This DataPlugin supports the reading and writing of CSV files with various separators like comma, semicolon, tab, or others.

The CSV DataPlugin is installed by DIAdem and LabVIEW by default. If your CSV files require specific treatment to read all information into DIAdem and LabVIEW, you can use the DIAdem DataPlugin Wizard to write your own DataPlugin.

File Extension:	*.DAT
Direction:	Read / Write
Last Change:	Released with current LabVIEW and DIAdem versions

Do you just want to change the extention (which does nothing to the file) or are you trying to change the file format?  And what format do you want if you are changing that?

Thank you. 

Hi, 

I just want to change the file format. Previously, the format is in .csv file. Now I want to change to .dat files.
How the process?

Need your help.

What is the format of the dat file?  There is not really a set definition for dat files.  So it is a matter of how you want to store your data.

[NurHidayah]

Actually this format in MATLAB software. So, i want this dat format because I want to simplify my data imported directly into the software.

This should do it: 

This will only work with numbers, I think to do text you have to add the matlab headers.

And what is the format that is defined?  Or are you referring to MAT files, which are binary files specific to Matlab?
