B&K PULSE 3560C +".DAT" FILES

[Julian Villegas <julovi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear list,

I have a database of binaural recordings performed by Prof. Qu and colleagues as 
reported at IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUDIO, SPEECH, AND LANGUAGE PROCESSING, VOL. 
17, NO. 6, AUGUST 2009. 

(The database is available 
athttp://www.cis.pku.edu.cn/auditory/english/audio_publications_1.htm.)

The database comprises .DAT files for each azimuth, elevation, and range of 
measurement. I presume that the .DAT files are produced by a B&K PULSE 3560C as 
mentioned in their article. I understand this is a binary file, and I was hoping 
to convert them into wav files or at least being able to read them but I don't 
know the format of the file, nor have access to a B&K  Type 7698 software. 


I tried to contact B&K and the authors but haven't received any reply yet, 
meanwhile, I would like to ask your help in this issue, and also to share my 
frustration for not being able to find a free tool to read it. As with so many 
other software companies, they offer free readers for files produced with their 
non-free applications (take the Microsoft Office suit as an example). Is there 
anyway I can read these files?

Thank you for your cooperation.

 Julian Villegas, Ph.D.
