INCA .a2l and .hex files

Hello everybody

I'm trying to import a .a2l and .hex file from INCA to extract then the labels (variables) an their values.

But I don't know how to find the value in the .hex file. Here a example of a .a2l file:

...........
..........
.............................................................
/begin CHARACTERISTIC

      Hugo      %%Label Name
      "Hugo start to heat kitchen"    %%Label describtion
      VALUE
      0x810625AA  %%Value
      KwKK13
      1535.977
      temp_q0p3
      -111.1500
      1222.827

      FORMAT "%8.3"

/end CHARACTERISTIC
...

.hex file:

:2027C00000FD09CFC808D9FF0EDA50FF8CF0B7FF81F7A80F3BC00380DA145FF80600820F8A
:2027E000D90F5E81280F34E81D009F0009D841083B4001A099CE04007685DF187F001D00C4

(both files are only shown here as a very small extract of the real file.)

thank you very very much!

The .hex files are apparently in Motorola S-record format. If I thought about it some, I could probably reconstruct the details of the format from when I used it 30 years ago ;-)

The content encoded by the .hex files varies according to the variety of measurement being done.

Unfortunately it appears that as I am not an authorized ETAS user, I am prohibited from reading the file format documentation!

There is a chance that this File Exchange contribution will help in the ultimate task: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/9301-incamatlab-gui-demo

do we have a m-script to parse S-record?
