What is the format of the two file types? Unfortunately the extension isn't very helpful in identifying what's inside the files. Where are these files coming from?

I do not know of any utilities to perform such a conversion. I'm not familiar with the .fit format, although I search on the web for information about it for a while. You will probably need to build a utility to do this. The .dat files can only be read by LabVIEW. You have to know what type of data you've stored in them when you read from the files, so it will be specific for every type of file you want to read. For example, you can't use the same program to read a .dat file which stored a waveform and one which stored an array. So, unfortunately, you'll probably have to build it yourself. If you get a chance, provide a few more details about your application and I may be able to help you out.

I was wondering if you ever found a way to do the .dat to .fits conversion. I am assuming of course you are talking about the Flexible Image Transport System.
