Hi Gu,
I just added mda_display.sav to the IDL_EPICS_scans repository:
https://github.com/CARS-UChicago/IDL_EPICS_scans/blob/master/mda_display.sav
With that .sav file you can use the IDL Virtual Machine, which is free. It provides a nice GUI to browse and graphically display the MDA files, convert to ASCII, etc.

Subject: sscan mda format convert
Hi All:
I used sscan module to do some scans, and it saved files in mda format. I searched in the teck-talk, and knew IDL was able to open these files,
but I didn't have any IDL license. Could someone help me to convert these files from mda to ascii with other methods.
Best wishes!
Gu
