Although the RDI binary and P-file formats are compact and efficient for storing data, it would be handy to be able to read that data into MATLAB. There are various existing toolboxes that purport to do this, but I have found that they are a) much too complicated for what I want (requiring netcdf, etc.), b) or they don't work, or c) both. One reason why these programs often don't work is because RDI is constantly changing (improving? evolving?) the format of their files as new instruments and instrument firmwares are developed. over time I have been keeping track of these changes....so...presenting:
