Open unknown binary file structure and save to TDMS

Hi!

 

I am trying to recover some data acquired in my lab a few years ago using LabVIEW 8. I am able to read the ".BIN" file but I don't know the full structure of the data. I know the following:

 

* it has both string and numerical values.

* the beginning of the file should have, date of acquisition and scan rate

* the array is composed of at least 4 columns

* The array should have, time data and waveform data

 

I have the following files: 

* Old .vi file -> unable to open, I assume is due to LV8 requirement which I don't have

* Old .exe file with dependency runtime LV 8 -> I was able to open them but they don't provide much information on the structure of the file

* Bin files

* partial data stored in a txt file

 

I was wondering if there is any recommendation on how to proceed to fully recover this dataset 

 

 

Here is a screenshot of the hex file

You can't open it because there is an issue with a dll inside of it.  At least that's what it says when I try to open it (with LV2018).  If you don't know the data structure then you are reduced to guessing.
