How do you read a MatLab Binary File

[SSAC-Smith]

I need to read the attached Matlab binary file with LabVIEW. Does anyone have a VI to do it.

Here is a knowledgebase that explains how this would be done. It includes some example programs to do it too.

All I find in the reference is exporting from labview to Matlab and importing from Matlab ASCII files. I will try to get my data source to provide ASCII sets but I would prefer (and may heve to) read the binary version. I hope that you (or someone) can help.

Thanks..

In the ReadMe file on that knowledgebase, I found this:

"the only way of sending the data from Matlab to LabVIEW without tempering with the MAT binary file structure is using the ASCII format"

I don't know if it would help, though, to run your MATLAB code straight from LabVIEW using the MATLAB Script.vi under the Analyze>>Mathematics>>Formula palette. Have you looked at this yet?
