How to calculate wave parameters (height, period, direction) from raw data of ADCP, ADV, AquadoppHR and Vector?

This question is specific to marine science and oceanography. I really hope someone can help me.

I need to calculate the wave parameters (wave height, period and direction) from an ADCP raw data and I'm hoping to do it in Matlab alone. Is there a matlab script to do this?

What I saw in the internet which answered my problem (but not quite solved) is to initially use 2 python scripts to: 1) split the ADCP raw data into separate binary current and wave data 2) process the ADCP binary wave data into various ASCII files

After that, matlab can do the calculations.

Isn't there a way or script in matlab to do those steps without having to go through python?

Or do you have any other suggestions as to how to do this in a "less tedious" way? A software (preferably free) perhaps?

In the future, I will also have to calculate wave parameters from the raw data of AquadoppHR, Vector and ADV. Insights on how to do theses things will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your response.
