DTi File format conversion to ASCII for processing


I need help in converting my DTi files to ASCII format. The DTi files are from SPIDAR GPR unit that I used to collect data with. I no longer have access to any programs associated with the equipment, but I still need to process the files.

I simply need guidance in the conversion of my files to ASCII format. I can do the rest from there. I would like to process the data in SU.

Any help appreciated!

without seeing this "data"
there is really nothing we could do


is it some closed source proprietary format ?
or a CSV

raw signal data ?
or processed images

from google a dti is a database file for delphi

or

it is a "Diffusion Tensor Imaging "

see this old and out of date software

The SPIDAR GPR = Ground Penetrating Radar - I wonder if this isn't image data of some sort but I didn't see any tools specifically for converting it.

If it is just binary tags around text running "strings" against the file might extract the text but from what little I saw this seems unlikely. It can't hurt to try - at worst you'll get unusable output but it doesn't change the input file.

ImageMagick has a "convert" utility that will let one specify input and output between image formats but I didn't see anything that suggests it allows for .dti files.

The few things I did find for dti files didn't seem like they were the same. I did find one for MRI dti files which is what made me think of images.

the only radar data i work with is the sar on the Cassini probe from Saturns moon Titian .
or the Venus Magellan radar data
these are binary tables of "raw" data and needs a custom tool to use this data in THAT format

as above without a lot more information ??????

if you KNOW the data layout
like this Cassini example

http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data.../SBDR/SBDR.FMT
for the TAB ( table of binary data ) "SBDR_02_003_V01.TAB"
http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/data...0003/DATA/SBDR
