Check the number of data in the binary data file

What is the program to open the binary files obtained in the experiment and check the number of data?

I would like to attach a file, but even if I compress it into a zip file, I cannot attach it because it exceeds 5 MB.

Binary data files can be any arbitrary complicated binary scheme, including potentially packing information at bit boundaries, and including potentially using customized file compression. It is not possible for us to tell you how to decode all possible binary files.

If you tell us the file extension that was used, and the model of equipment that was used to record the file, there is the possibility that we might know something about the file representation.

Thank you for your reply.

The file extension is bin. i used FPGA PXIe-8840 and LabVIEW to get the data. i made a program to get the number of data 198x256x256=12976128 in LabVIEW. I would like to check with MATLAB to see if I am getting the data as it should be.

Unfortunately LabVIEW .bin files are arbitrary format.

Not long ago there was a question about LabVIEW files https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2173755-i-want-to-get-binary-data-from-a-bin-file#answer_1559387 . However, in that case the arrays were 2D double precision.

I have obtained a binary file with a smaller number of data and attach it herewith.

How many pixels is the reduced binary file? I get the impression that it has an 8 byte header followed by uint8 data that might be 192 * 96 * 13 . However, so far I am unable to decode the header.
