Hi everyone....i have recorded some data of some partial discharge in the .mat format. the data contains x and y variables and displays the graph.
i want to convert this information into .dat so that i can use my linux software and sample the data collected.
can someone tell me how to convert this to .dat format.

This should do it. Note: I made a sample mat-file with x,y,a as my variables.
load test.mat
dlmwrite('test.dat',[x y a])
This will write a ASCII format file using the default delimiter (,). You can use another delimiter if you wish.

What if the mat file is so large, MATLAB cannot show me all the variables itself. How do I then convert it to dat?
