Description

Hi,

I'm using assamdf v6.2.0 to export MF4 files to matlab files. , I’m selecting time as date in the output format, but the .mat file is observed as a double variable. I’m not familiar with date variables in Matlab but may be you can give me an advice. Regards,

Please describe the issue here.

Hello @Luislopezcmi

At a very short glance Matlab has some datetime array types, but for now the hdf5storage library which we use for .mat 7.3 file export does not support them (see https://github.com/frejanordsiek/hdf5storage/issues/112).

This means that for .mat the time_as_date option has no effect. This is also stated in the documentation https://asammdf.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#asammdf.mdf.MDF.export

Hello @Luislopezcmi, Matlab can read hdf5 files directly, so export hdf5 file instead of mat file might solve this issue? Import HDF5 Files in Matlab BR Matthias
