Hi Paul, were you ever able to resolve this issue? It seems we have the exact same question as you, for reading the data from our SR865A lock-in amplifier. Please let us know if you were able to find a solution. Thank you!

"Is there someone recognize the following code..."
It isn't code, it is a binary .mat file (just as the text at the start of the file clearly states).
"... and how to convert it to the normal data?"
The recommended way it to load into an output variable (which is a structure):
S = load('name_of_the_file.mat');
and then access the fields of that structure. Or during development (i.e. from the command line) you can also use the command-syntax:
load name_of_the_file.mat

"Would A give me the converted data?"
The literal answer is "yes", it will "convert" the contents of some random binary file (interpreted as uint16) into some most likely very meaningless values. Unlikely to be very useful, but nothing is stopping you from trying.
I suspect that the real problem started with how the data was saved. I have no idea what special types/data encoding/... the Instrument Control Toolbox uses, but that would be where I would start looking.

That is not code. That is a .mat file created on a Windows system about a week ago.
Possibly someone accidentally did a save naming a .m file.
The code is gone, replaced with variables. There is no way to get the code back from this file.
You have to hope that there is a backup for the file. Look to see if you have any .asv (autosave) files.
