datestring shows incorrect answers

I have taken a specific date from Igor pro and import it into matlab. the corresponding integer value of the time '1/1/2016 00:00:00.058 'when i upload the file from igor pro into matlab was '3534468465.15625'. When i try to use the date string function

   t=3534468465.15625;
string=datestr(t);

the output is coming as '22-Dec-7045 03:45:00'. But the required answer was '1/1/2016 00:00:00.058'. Can some one please help why this error is happening ?

Igor Pro uses the seconds since 1904-01-01. So you can convert it using

 dv = datevec(3534468465.15625/(3600*24) + datenum(1904, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0))

Which gives ans =

       2016.00          1.00          1.00          4.00         47.00         45.16

This gives the correct year, month and day, but the time is still wrong.

Are you 100% sure that the correct time is '1/1/2016 00:00:00.058 ' and not '1/1/2016 04:47:45.16'?
