MatLab can import flat ASCII files. To produce those files: Run SBE Data Processing’s Data Conversion module to produce a .cnv file with data in ASCII engineering units from the raw data file. This file also contains header information. Run SBE Data Processing’s ASCII Out module to remove the header information, outputting just the data portion of the converted data file to a .asc file. Optionally, you can also output the header information to a .hdr file.
