National Instruments LabView software has a native file format called LabView Measurement File (LVM, extension .lvm). This m-file, lvm_import.m, reads LVM files and imports the data into the MATLAB workspace. lvm_import.m handles all types of text-based LVM files, and returns specific information such as date, time, data column names, etc.
