how to read a .tim formated file in matlab

hi.. i have a .tim extension file.. i need to read that file using matlab..is it possible..? help me with this..pl...whether it is similar like converting a binary file to ASCII file..?

File extensions are not unique. There could by many different formats using .tim. As long as you do not offer further details, we cannot efficiently guess, which kind of files you are talking of. So please explain, which program has created the files, where you have downloaded them, how the first lines look when you open it in an editor, etc.

Please do not let me guess which "data acquisition software" you are talking of and where more information about "dadisp" can be found.

The only reliable way to open a binary format is to get the specifications of the format. So contact the author of the program which have created the files.

I'm convinced, that finding the format by trial and error is impossible, because you do not have any chance to check, if you are at least partially successful.
