You can read the .tim file using

    FileObj=fopen(FileName);
    FileData=textscan(FileObj, ...
        '%s .....', 'delimiter', ',');

then modify your data if you need and then write them into xls by

xlswrite 
or
using   ActiveX COM object.

fread() can read float32 binary. Watch out for possible differences in byte order.
