How to read National Instruments HWS waveform data file in MATLAB
National Instrument High Speed DIO drivers can read and write a specialized file format HWS (Hierarchical Waveform Storage). It is actually a subset implementation of the famous HDF5, which is best data format for large scientific data (we are talking about terabytes here).
Anyway, as I started playing with .hws file a bit more, I found it quite easy to use, and because it is based on HDF5, I can use any software that supports HDF5 to open the HWS file! And, no surprise here, MATLAB, from ver 6.5, has functions to read and write HDF files.
However, MATLAB’s hdf5read() function requires an unique dataset attribute for the data that you want to load from the HDF5 file. So, to read the NI-HWS file, we need to figure out the dataset attribute. Using HDF Explorer and HDF Viewer application, I was able to find the correct attribute to read the HWS file in MATLAB. Here it is
hdf5read('test.hws','/wfm_group0/axes/axis1/data_vector/data');
The second paramter is the HDF5 attribute for the actual dataset in the HWS file.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

I have just started going to a gym and my instructor is asking me to take protein supplements. I am not sure whether they are steroids or not. And secondly, I am a strict vegetarian so i was hoping if you could give me any details on what to eat. Without the meat and eggs of course

I have been browsing online more than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It is lovely price enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
