Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if there is a module for importing and reading IMC measurement data?
I am currently converting the files to MatLab files with Famos (read program for IMC data) and then using scipy.io.loadmat to import them into Python workspace. It would have huge advantages if I could read the data directly...

So my idea was to read the binary myself, but I soon realized that it was obviously not that easy.

A pretty small file looks like this:

It starts with normal characters but the actual data are (I think) binary doubles and there comes my problem. How can I read the data information until a specific point and then encode these binary data? I've tried a lot of things to convert the binary data to a human readable form without success.

I would really appreciate every help!
