Unknow format data file

[alex.]

I am trying to extract the data content from unknown format data file.

The data file should be generated by LV program.

May I know where should I start.

Any suggestion, thanks.

Hi Alex

Without knowing anything about the structure of the file this is going to be difficult. Do you know which program made them originally?

Just know it is a labview program in exe format.

alx,

Had a look around and found that the files are most likely generated from a Tektronix Scope. I downloaded a converter from their homepage and it accepted the files, but I'm not at all sure if it worked ok since I don't know what's supposed to be in the files. Give it a try and see if it works

Best Regards

I can't download you file 😞

Did you try to open it with a text read as Notepad or Wordpad?

If you can and see it, you could have an idea of it's binary or ASCII format.

Then, if you beleive it's a text format, copy the content in LabVIEW in a String Control with '\' Codes Display activated to see if there is a framework in the file (separator).

If it's a binary format, no method without more information.
