3 Week 5 Lecture Outline loading Binary Data A. Week 5 Review Importing Text Data B. Binary Encoding C. Binary Data Formats D. Exercise

4 Basic issue: A. Week 5 Review: Importing Text Data How do we get data from other sources into Matlab so that we can play with it? Other Issues: Where do we get the data? What types of data can we import?

5 Lots of options to load files load for basics fscanf for complex textread for any text xlsread for Excel worksheets

6 load Command opens and imports data from a standard ASCII file into a matlab variable Usage: var_name = load( filename ) Restrictions Data must be constantly sized Data must be ASCII No other characters

7 load Works for simple and unstructured code Powerful and easy to use but limited Will likely force you to manually handle simplifying data which is prone to error More complex functions are more flexible

8 File Handling f* functions are associated with file opening, reading, manipulating, writing, Basic Functions of Interest for opening and reading generic files in matlab fopen fclose fseek/ftell/frewind fscanf fgetl

9 fopen Opens a file object in matlab that points to the file of interest fid = fopen( filepath ) fid is an integer that represents the file Can open multiple files and matlab will assign unique fids

10 fclose When you are done with a file, it is a good idea to close it especially if you are opening many files fclose(fid)

11 What is a File? A specific organization of data In matlab it is identified with a fid Location is specified with a pointer that can be moved around fid Pointer file_name

12 Moving the Pointer We already know how to assign a fid (fopen) To find where the file is pointing: x = ftell(fid) To point somewhere else fseek(fid,offset,origin) Move pointer in file fid by offset relative to origin Origin can be beginning, current, end of file To point to the beginning frewind(fid)

13 Getting Data Why move the pointer around? Get somewhere in the file from where you want data fscanf(fid,format,size) Format You have to tell matlab the type of data it should be expecting in the text file so that it can convert it %d, %f, %c Size You can specify how to organize the imported data [m,n] import the data as m by n, n can be infinite Be careful because matlab will mangle your data and not tell you

14 Getting Data fgetl returns the next line of the file as a character array You may need to convert these to numbers >> fid1 = fopen( test1.txt ); >> a_str = fgetl(fid1) a_str = 1 2 >> a_num = str2num(a_str) a_num = [1 2]

15 B. Binary Encoding All data files are binary encoded ASCII text format is generally the easiest because it is relatively simple, easy to visualize in a text editor, and is a common output format BUT ASCII text is not the fastest or the most efficient way of encoding data Not all data files are ASCII!

16 B. Binary Encoding Binary data consists of sequences of 0 s and 1 s Depending on the encoding used, individual meaningful values will occur every 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits For a tutorial on converting between binary and decimal numbers see:

17 B. Binary Encoding Binary data consists of sequences of 0 s and 1 s Depending on the encoding used, individual meaningful values will occur every 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits

18 B. Binary Encoding Binary data consists of sequences of 0 s and 1 s Depending on the encoding used, individual meaningful values will occur every 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits

19 B. Binary Encoding Binary data consists of sequences of 0 s and 1 s Depending on the encoding used, individual meaningful values will occur every 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits

20 B. Binary Encoding Each group of bits can represent a value, character, delimiter, command, instruction ect. Generally binary data is divided into 8 bit (1 byte) segments = zero = 255 IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT FORMAT THE DATA IS IN BEFORE YOU CAN READ IT!

21 ASCII ENCODING ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange (1968). ASCII every character is coded by only seven bits of information. The eighth bit is ignored (it can be a zero or one). ASCII consists of 127 characters which include uppercase, lowercase, spaces and formatting characters See for the full ascii table

22 ASCII vs Simple Binary Encoding ASCII requires 1 byte to be used for every character Data Table: In ascii 1 byte is used for every character, space and carriage return = 23 bytes If this was encoded in a simple 8 bit binary representation this would only use 11 bytes (1 byte for every number and space)

23 Binary Precision The number of bits used to represent a value determines how large or small that value can be 8 bits 0 to bits 0 to bits 0 to e+009 Precision also determines how many decimal places can be represented

24 C. Binary Formats: Integers and Characters 'schar' Signed character; 8 bits 'uchar' Unsigned character; 8 bits 'int8' Integer; 8 bits 'int16' Integer; 16 bits 'int32' Integer; 32 bits 'int64' Integer; 64 bits 'uint8' Unsigned integer; 8 bits 'uint16' Unsigned integer; 16 bits 'uint32' Unsigned integer; 32 bits 'uint64' Unsigned integer; 64 bits * The first bit denotes the sign if the integer or character is signed.

25 Readable Binary Data Formats Floating Point Representation Used for numbers that require decimal representation (real numbers) Established by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ) Encoded in 32 (single precision) or 64 bits (double precision) Single precision(short): 32 bits 1 bit for the sign, 8 bits for the exponent, and 23 bits for the mantissa. Double precision(long) Real: 64 bits 1 bit for the sign, 11 bits for the exponent, and 52 bits for the mantissa.

26 Readable Binary Data Formats Floating Point Representation By default matlab stores all values with double precision The functions realmax and realmin return max and min value representations 'float32, single 'float64', 'double' Floating-point; 32 bits Floating-point; 64 bits

27 Specifying Machine Formats The computer system used to record or save the binary data in unique addressing orders In order to load binary data from a particular system, Matlab needs to know the machine format You can use the fopen function to determine the machine format [filename, mode, machineformat] = fopen(fid)

28 Binary File Machine Formats 'ieee-be' or 'b : IEEE floating point with big-endian byte ordering 'ieee-le' or 'l' : IEEE floating point with little-endian byte ordering 'ieee-be.l64' or 's : IEEE floating point with big-endian byte ordering and 64-bit long data type 'ieee-le.l64' or 'a : IEEE floating point with little-endian byte ordering 'native' or 'n' : 'vaxd' or 'd' : 'vaxg' or 'g' : and 64-bit long data type Numeric format of the machine on which MATLAB is running (the default) VAX D floating point and VAX ordering VAX G floating point and VAX ordering

29 Reading Binary Data The function fread() performs all binary data reading in matlab Syntax A = fread(fid) A = fread(fid, count) A = fread(fid, count, precision) A = fread(fid, count, precision, skip) A = fread(fid, count, precision, skip, machineformat) [A, count] = fread(...)

30 Reading Binary Data Input Arguments: Count: Precision: Skip: MachineFormat: x: read x elements Inf: read to end of file [m,n]: read enough to fill a m by n matrix Specify input data format eg. Int8, int16, short, long see previous slides Skip specified number of bits between segments specified by the Precision argument Specify machine format 'ieee-be, 'ieee-le.. See previous slides

31 Exercise Load and plot position data saved in: week10data.rob This file contains binary position data saved in 32 bit floating point format precision 1. Use the fopen function to determine the machine format hint: [fname, mode, mformat] = fopen(fid) 2. Load the data using the fread function 3. Plot the position 4. Try loading the data with an incorrect argument to see how this changes/corrupts the data

32 Exercise Solution fid = fopen('week10data.rob','r') %open file for reading %Determine file format [fname, mode, mformat] = fopen(fid) %Format is ieee-le %Read binary data pos_data = fread(fid, inf, 'single', 'ieee-le') plot(pos_data) % plot position data fclose(fid) % close file
