* Descripción *
My research group uses Labview 7.1 to write custom data acquisition
(DAQ) software. I code everything else in Python, so I need to get
data from Labview into Python for processing. Our DAQ program produces
Labview binary files, so I had to find a way to read them with Python.
Binary files are nice because they are a compact way to store
numerical data as compared to ASCI or (heaven forbid) XML, but they
are much harder to read. The binary format used by Labview is
documented only indirectly, so I had to hack a little.
