Structuring Data Read from Binary File

[jasongallant]

Hi Folks,

I'm very new to matlab, and am trying to get a program together that will read my library of electric fish recordings.  It is a simple binary format that self-contains information necessary for reading it.  After a couple days in front of the software, I have been able to write a single pass that dissects the first record from my file.  However, I'd like to structure the data, so that I can easily browse through each of the appended records in a particular file.  I've attatched the .vi file that I've come up with so far... I'm sure that I need to write a loop and append the data to an array or cluster, though the procedure for this eludes me.  Is there a more efficent way to code this?  Many thanks for any help you may be able to provide!

Best,
JG

Well, I made my cardinal mistake on the forums, and called Labview Matlab in my earlier post.  Apologies.  I've made some headway on this, with a loop that adds data to a structure...

Now, I would like to come up with a way of doing this more efficiently... Any ideas?  Many thanks in advance!

Consider Scan from File. Also, close the file after the loop.

If you want more detailed help, please post the complete file format.
