Subject: B&K PULSE 3560C +".DAT" FILES From: Julian Villegas <julovi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:42:49 -0700 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>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. http://julovi.net Me pregunto de un modo pensativo Que significa ser Colombiano? No se le respondi.
