It should have 3 (or 4) columns and 1000 rows.

You need to know something about the content of the file. It has 6074 bytes, so it's not just plain 1000 binary numbers.

There seems to be some sort of a binary header, followed by what could be 16-bit integers. 

The plot does look somehow reasonable :

plot(fread(fopen('test1.bin'),'int16'))

you can see artifacts from the header and then the data that looks like some sort of noisy measurement.

of course that plot interprets the data as a single column.

What are the expected values that you think should be in this file?
