Hi Chris,

I’m having a similar problem to another one reported recently - I cannot unpack an important mwk file. In this case, I had to close the file by killing my experiment with a force quit after the client crashed (when Matlab would not activate) … in this case, the server remained active and I was able to continue to collect data. Looking at the earlier thread (July this year), I tried the unpack functions associated with the nightly build with no luck. Any chance you can save it? The mwk file is 250MB so I’ll share it via Dropbox.

Thanks!

Hi Nicole,

Using the current nightly, I’m able to unpack the file in MATLAB:

>> evts = getEvents('TR_25Aug15_T300.mwk');
Scarab session ended unexpectedly; data stream may be corrupt
Scarab session ended unexpectedly; data stream may be corrupt
>> length(evts)

ans =

    12904193

Those “data stream may be corrupt” messages are something I added while fixing the other issue you mentioned, so I think you’re correct that this is a similar problem.

How does it fail when you try to unpack the file using the nightly build?
