Problem about dat "contains invalid header information" when using "load memory"

Hello:

  I encountered a problem others might frequently meet:

 

  I generated five digits [1 2 3 4 5] from matlab and export it as dat file:

 

 

This dat file looks like this in my desktop.

 

 

Then I listened to technician's suggestion and use "load memory" in debug perspective to choose this test.dat file in my desktop

and I want to load these five digits into consecutive memory address starting from 0x80000000.

 

However, I got stuck by two problems:

1-I have heard that I should use "CCS.dat" format rather than generic .dat format generated by matlab.   How could I make sure I am loading in CCS.dat format data?  And should I chick on "Use the file header inform...."

 

2-When I hit "Next", warning  poped up:

 

Could anybody give me some hints about :

Why it happens?

How could I validly import generic dat file into my memory via "load memory"?

 

And how to convert into "CCS.dat" file?

 

 

Thanks a lot

 

Yu

 

  • Yu,

    .dat files from Matlab and from CCS differ in format. One way to find out its format is to check the CCS Help --> Help Contents: search for "data file formats".

    This document had a bug that is reported on the thread below, but I am unsure if they have fixed it. For details check:

    Hope this helps,
