Can I use the WDF File Access API to Read *.WDF Files in MATLAB?

No, MATLAB cannot use the WDF File Access API to read *.WDF files.

There is a special function in the WDF File Access API called WdfGetSacleWave64, which is used to read the data from the *.WDF file. This command uses a pointer, as one of the parameters and since MATLAB does not use pointers, it will run into an error when attempting to run the function. The WdfGetSacleWave64 function is the only way to retrieve and read *.WDF file.
