I looked through the documentation and could find nothing on either the file format or the ability to export the file to formats readable in other applications.

See if you can print out the first 50 or so lines from the file. If you can actually read it (meaning that it is an ASCII file), attach the file here.

Otherwise, contact Pulse Biomedical at: <mailto:Info@qrscard.com Info@qrscard.com> and ask them how best to read it into MATLAB or export it into an ASCII file.

Okay,

Matlab cannot read .nas files, so one needs rename the .nas files to .txt (or similarly suitable extensions), and then read the .txt files using textscan

See below for an example

filename=('pwd')
FID=fopen(filename);
datacell = textscan(FID, '%f%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 53, 'CollectOutput', 1); %%%removing the first 53 lines that are headers
data=cell2mat(datacell)
fclose(FID);

Those are not simply ascii files you can use load() with. They are binary files.
