Trying to read the .dat file created from the --log option of the benchmark codes

GNU Radio

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

Nazmul,

Have you looked at the .m file you have to see what’s in it? It might
not have downloaded correctly.
