[Discuss-gnuradio] Trying to read the .dat file created from the --log option of the benchmark codes

[Nazmul Islam]

I am trying to read the .dat file, created from the --log option of benchmark_rx, in Matlab. Unfortunately, Matlab is showing errors.

I used the following command to get the file:

./benchmark_rx.py -f 450M -r 1M --log

This created the fmdemod.dat file. I downloaded the reading codes from gnuradio-core/src/utils and ran those on the .date file in the following way:

GNUdata=read_float_binary('fmdemod.dat');

GNUdata=read_complex_binary('fmdemod.dat');

GNUdata=read_short_binary('fmdemod.dat');

Unfortunately, all of these commands are producing the following pattern of error:

??? Error: File: read_float_binary.m Line: 1 Column: 1  Unexpected MATLAB operator. 

How can I solve this? Any suggestion regarding reading the .dat file, created from the benchmark_rx code, will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nazmul
