Can't convert TDM to TDMS without channels

When using the "Convert TDM to TDMS.vi" on TDM files that only have ChannelGroups and no Channels.
This VI will stop adding Data after the 1st ChannelGroup without a Channel.
It appears to be a small bug with the VI. The problem is that internally it produces an error code (not an error) to say an object has no data.
This is never cleared so every loop iteration will be skipped because it thinks there is no data.
I've have now fixed this VI (see attached) it would be nice to see this updated in a future release of LabVIEW

How can I convert text to pdf without the pathname showing in new doc?

Hi,
I had this worked out in v.7 but now in v.8 it seems to be different and/or I just plain forgot how to do it.
I want to not see the path name anywhere in the document when I make a new pdf document from a text file. It seems to do it by default.
But there is no way to remove as a header or footer since it doesn't see it as such. So I can't look up how to do it in the help menu because I don't know what that added line is called if not a header.
Please help. I don't want to have to keep going back to my v.7 Acrobat.
Thanks.

Go to Create PDF From Web Page. Change the settings to remove headers
and footers and it will (somewhat surprisingly) affect TXT conversion.

How to convert tdms to ascii files?

Hello,
I need to convert *.tdms files to an ascii file. I have 16 channels and scalling coefficient information in the tdms file, With the TDMS-Image Viewer i can see the 1-D array waveform perfectly, but I cant write it to an ascii file. When I use a signalexpress.vi or the spreetsheat.vi for writing an LVM/ascii file, information gets lost. (Red symbol at INPUT!!!!)
Please answer me, because I dont have lots of experience with labview and an ascii file is more easier to handle for me! I found only export to matlab and exel, but i just want it in an ascii file. Reading the tdms and opening it is no problem, but connecting the right blocks to the 1D array waveform without dataloss doesnt work.
thank you for reading
danny

Thank you for reply,
i have the new version 8.5. With signalexpress.vis i can do asciis but the red symbol (at input) is there so i dont want to get information lost.
The tdms file has header information for scalling factors and unscalled data for 16 channels.
so because tdms files are faster for writing i want to convert them to ascii with a Convertion Vi, but it seems that with an express vi he stops because it cant handle handle with the headerinformation.
now i use the signalexess vi to write tdms data, before i did it manully by setting channel and group information.
Please tell me if the red symbol AT input of a Signalexpress VI does matter? its a 1D array wavefrom that goes in to the input.
thank you for this discussion, i hope that i dont need to use the matlab import option for tdms!!
greetings danny

Advanced TDMS, Set Channel Information

Hello,
I have a problem with scaling in and TDMS File. I´ll try to explain what i want to do.
I work on a system that streams data from 2 PXIe 5122 via peer to peer streaming to 2 NI 7962R FPGA FlexRIO cards. After that I want to stream my measurement data from the FPGA cards to an NI 8260 hdd array via the advanced TDMS API using the "TDMS Advanced Asynchronous Write (Data Ref).vi"
This works fine, but i have a big problem trying to scale my raw data. When using the "TDMS Set Channel Information.vi" I can decide to split my measurement data into two groups, Digitizer 1 and 2 with 2 channels each digitizer. When doing so, the API sets 2 Properties to the groups called "NI_Scale[0]_Scale_Type == AdvancedAPI" and "NI_Scaling_Status==scaled". When the API Sets these 2 properties i don´t have any chance to scale my raw data directly with the "TDMS Create Scaling Information.vi" because this vi sets the scaling information to each channel. The properties were set, but TDMS viewer and also DIADEM ignores these properties cause the group properties from the Advanced API were set.
When taking all 4 channels from both digitizers into one group, the group properties "NI_Scale[0]_Scale_Type == AdvancedAPI" and "NI_Scaling_Status==scaled" won´t be set to the group. But i can´t write the data directly to the TDMS file over the data reference, because i have 2 data references from each digitizer, and the API has a problem deciding what sample belongs to which channel.
So the only thing that worked is to create one group and set channel informations for 2 measurement channels, then get the data reference that contains these two channels and write them to TDMS, then set the other two channels informations and get the second data reference and write them to TDMS.
But the problem is, that i have to do that in a loop. When setting always the channel informations before getting the datareference and write the raw values to TDMS file this slows the performance of my system.
I think the right way shoul be that i can use 2 groups for each digitizer and set channel informations for each without getting these two group properties into my TDMS file. Anyone has an idea how i can solve the problem?

Thanks for your reply,
i know that the scaling vi works when using one group. It also works when using 2 groups. But you put the scaling infos for the whole group. when using an digitizer you can´t do this because every channel has a little bit different scaling values. so u must set the scaling values to each channel. this is done properly, but when using 2 groups tdms viewer and diadem ignore these scaling values because the Groups have the properties as stated in my first post.
Here is a little screenshot of what im trying to do.

Convert tdms to binary

How to convert large size ( > 500 MB) TDMS files to .binary or ascii..
i found so many examples to do this using labview.. but my requirement is if there is no labview installed on my system then how can i convert and analyze the data from TDMS files..

Make an executable and an installer out of the one that suits you! Then you can use it without LabVIEW, unless I'm missing something obvious!
Also run a defrag on your file it helps.
Beginner? Try LabVIEW Basics
Sharing bits of code? Try Snippets or LAVA Code Capture Tool

Convert TDMS to TXT

Hi,
I am trying to convert a TDMS file to a TXT file. I want:
1. Convert Data Set (File) properties
2. Convert Channel Group properties
3.. Convert all the data.
The TDMS file "sc1616.tdms" is attached below. The attached "Convert TDMS.vi" can only convert one group data. I want to convert all the data. The TXT file will be like the attached "sc1616.txt".
Any help will be appreciated.

How to convert tdm files to lvm files?

I am trying to convert a number of TDM files to LVM files. I got error (2553) when I execute my VI. I dont know why.

Conversion TDM to LVM.vi ‏121 KB

Hi Hyunseok
I changed your VI to a single file converter (see attched VI) and it works out well with LabVIEW 2009. Is there any special within your TDM files? Can you provide an example file which does not work?
Additionally I'm curious why you want to convert TDM to LVM since there are a bunch of tools to directly work with TDM files in other applications (Find Resources for Reading and Writing TDMS Files in Third-Party Products)

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

Can I convert a camera Firewire output to a USB input on a laptop without buying a Canopus box?

Can I convert a camera Firewire output connector to a USB input on a laptop without having to buy a Canopus box or other expensive piece of equipment?

Unfortunately, no. Firewire and USB are two entirely different methods of transfering data. There's no simple/cheap converter out there. You will have to look into either purchasing a canopus device or get a computer which will support a firewire or video input.

C/C++ routines to convert tdm/tdx files to text

I need to write a C/C++ program to convert TDM & TDX file data into text files. Does NI or anyone
offer any example C or C++ source code to do this? I have some large data sets (> 500 Mbytes)
that I would like to break up to be analyzed using MATLAB or C/C++ routines.

Hi,
Please contact National Instruments support for further assistance with this issue or send email to [email protected]
Thanks.
