I am not really sure. It would depend on how that data is encoded. You will need to decode the data prior to importing it to matlab and the like. You may want to decode the data before saving it to file. The documentation for the hardware you are talking to will tell you how to break it up. What I explained would be a raw representation of the data in Hex format. You would need to know, for instance, the first two bytes represent the number of widgets A, the next 10 bytes represent the voltage of the flex capaciter.. etc. Break up the information, format it, then output it to a text file. As I said, this should be in your documentation for the hardware you are talking to.
Hope this helps...
