I would like to read a .dat file (binary). The file contains numeric as well as text data. Could someone provide some examples/h​ints for this purpose?

The file is the output of a data acquisition system. I need to get the data as a 2D array (channel name and numeric data corresponding to the channel) so that i can use the data for graphical displays.

It would depend on how the file was written.
You should have some information regarding how the data is stored (is it delimitied in some way?)
If the data is delimited or in a recognizable spreadsheet array format, you will be able to import the data without (much) issue; regardless of whether the data is stored as text or numeric.

  • HT5557 I downloaded a book to my Mac and would like to read it there due to the larger screen. The book was transferred to my iPhone which is too small to read comfortably.  How can I read on the Mac?

    How do I read books on my Mac? I downloaded several books to my Mac but they went to my iPhone whose screen is not big enough to see more than a few lines.

    Thanks.  Doesn't make much sense.  Just got done reading my first and last book on the iPhone.  I think the font/glare changed my prescription.  Guess I'll be going back to paper.

  • I would like to read a ASC11 file ?

    I would like to read a ASC11 file ? i would like to read the ASC11 file but there is a 2 lines header in this file.and i dont wanna read this header.this ASC11
    file has 12 columns and then i wanna convert them to
    binary file.
    any example would be great.
    thanks

    i am sorry that you are getting upset due to my repetitions of question.
    well i have looked into example read from text file
    and tried with this but it did not solve my problem.
    in this example this function is reading data line
    by line and i dont want to read the data line by line.
    for this reason i removed the inner while loop.
    to skip the 2 lines header when i call read file
    function 2 times. i still get the header in my result file.
    when i write the data of 12 columns and N number of rows by calling write to binary function,i tried to read this binary data with the help of Matlab. i get
    only one column and it look likes that it is transposed.the output of the read function is 2 dimensional array. i try to write this 2 dimensional
    array by call
    ing write to binary function and i also
    want to display the 2-Dimensional data in 2 dimensional
    indicator array.
    this all things i tried already but could not get the
    desired result. therefore i wrote again.
    any way if you are upset then take my questions back and thanks for your tips.

  • I would like to read a text file in which the decimal numbers are using dots instead of commas. Is there a way of converting this in labVIEW, or how can I get the program to enterpret the figures in the correct way?

    The program doest enterpret my figures from the text file in the correct way since the numbers contain dots instead of commas. Is there a way to fix this in labVIEW, or do I have to change the files before reading them in the program? Thanks beforehend!

    You must go in the labview option menu, you can select 'use the local
    separator' in the front side submenu (LV6i).
    If you use the "From Exponential/Fract/Eng" vi, you are able to select this
    opton (with a boolean) without changing the labview parameters.

    You should have stopped after the first paragraph, because that was the only helpful part. You managed to sarcastically tell the questioner that he or she is dumb, throw in a couple of tidbits to convince any reader how smart you must be, and discourage any further learning.
    I saw nowhere in the original question where marcozroberto was complaining about speed.
    Caches, to us lesser mortals, are one of the first culprits that come to mind when all the cookies (including smart cookies) and browser cache have been erased, yet the ads on Web pages still want to know if I'd like to find a date tonight in my specific area code. So, I turn to sites like the Apple discussion pages to find out what other pieces of memory I have to flush to feel less stalked.  According to you, I shouldn't bother my poor head learning about this machine I bought, I should just trust  manufacturers and programmers to manage everything.
    I doubt fpsaud is really the problem with my browsing (my next guess is the IP address), but I won't learn that here.

  • I would like to use GarageBand to remaster downloaded music files that are in iTunes.  Poorly mastered files keep clipping and damaging my speakers.  When I try to use an iTunes file as a new project, it greys out the iTunes songs so I can't select them.

    As I said - look whether your original file is damaged or not. If not, I wouldn't change it and find out what in your system makes it sound like it's clipping.
    Good sound file, with volume maxed out. No need to change anything.
    The same song clipped - no chance to repair.

  • Using iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 How do I re-route saving pictures to the hard drive? Currently am saving to files on 'my' partition, and would like to change to save to a shared file so both partitions can view and access.

    Drag the Library from the Pictures folder to the Users/Shared folder. I would point out that folks doing this on 10.6 and later frequently meet permissions issues. You might do better moving it to an appropriately formatted External Disk.

    ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
    ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
    Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
    On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
    Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
    As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
    Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
    I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent

    No. The attached is the simplest way of modifying it to do as you want. I've
    sped things up a little to make it obvious.

    You already are. You're making the arrays as you go along so only the memory
    needed for the data that's in the plot is in use at any one time. To do it
    without storing
    arrays at all you'd need to keep retrieving the data from
    the XYgraph, adding the new datapoint and writing it back. Messy and I
    suspect incredibly inefficient.
    You're going to use the memory in any case- a better option would be to
    pre-initialise an array and fill it slowly. At the end of each 24 hour block
    zap all the data and start again without destroying and recreating the
    arrays. Or if you're only doing the 24 hour wipes to save memory, simply
    start again at the start of the buffer woithout erasing the previous data
    and you always have 24 hours of data to liik at once the system's running.
    Do a search for keywords like "pre initialise" or "circular buffer" on
    ni.com

  • I would like to read a textbook that uses a browser. How can i read it using my i pad?

    You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
    An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
    An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
    10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
    10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
    10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
    10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
      Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
