Using the Import Wizard with Binary Data
To import binary data using the Import Wizard, perform these steps:
uiimport
function to start the Import Wizard.
Viewing the Variables
When the Import Wizard opens a binary data file, it attempts to process the data in the file, creating variables from the data it finds in the file.
For example, if you use the Import Wizard to import this sample MAT-file, my_data.mat
,
it creates two variables, listed in the preview pane. To select a variable to import, click in the check box next to its name. All variables are preselected by default.
For other binary data types, such as images and sound files, the Import Wizard displays information about the data in the left pane and provides a preview button in the right pane of the dialog box. Click the preview button to view (or listen to) the data.
For example, when used to import a movie in Audio/Video Interleaved (AVI) format, the Import Wizard displays this dialog box.
