DIAdem 2012 displaying all channels as "Noname" for .tdm files

Hi
I'm experiencing a problem with DIAdem 2012 when opening .tdm files. 
I've reinstalled all NI software components, and still the problem remains.
All channels are displayed as "Noname", "Noname_1" etc.
Even worse, all values are displayed as either "0" or "NOVALUE".
See attached image for example.
The attached image is displaying the "Example.tdm" file which is opened by default when starting DIAdem.
When opening the "Example.csv" file the problem is not there (channels have names such as "Time", "Velocity" and values).
So what could be the problem related to reading/loading .tdm files? (Note, as I said, I just reinstalled DIAdem from scratch)

Hi salte,
"TDM_DataPlugin" is the default name that the ASCII DataPlugin Wizard would give to a DataPlugin you or someone else created to open files with a "*.tdm" file extension.  I'm betting that's where it came from-- the behavior you see in the Data Portal is also consistent with loading a TDM file as if it were an ASCII file.  DIAdem does not install this DataPlugin, and I highly recommend that you remove it.
To remove the DataPlugin, go to the DataPlugin dialog, select the the "TDM_DataPlugin" in the list, and hit the red "X" icon or the <Delete> key on your keyboard.  To get to this dialog first start in either the NAVIGATOR or SCRIPT panel, then depending on your DIAdem version select one of the following two menu paths:
"Settings >> Options >> Extensions >> DataPlugins..."
"Settings >> Extensions >> DataPlugins..."
Once you've removed the "TDM_DataPlugin", you will again be able to drag TDM files from the NAVIGATOR tree view into the Data Portal.

  • Channel count limit for tdm files

    Hello,
    I have not been able to find any documentation listing the maximum number of groups, channels/group for tdm files.  Does anyone know these values, or a document that lists them??

    Hello CAN_man,
    There is a DevZone document on the topic of TDMS files that can be found at the following link: TDMS File Format Internal Structure
    The document contains the answer to your question, and states that:
    "Each file can contain an unlimited number of groups, and each group can contain an unlimited number of channels."
    Please let me know whether you have more questions!

  • How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

    Hello,
    How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
    Thanks.
    lenpartico

    The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFEE80;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Finder"
    reveal "Path:to:your:file"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
    </pre>
    ... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
    Edit:
    Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

  • All the creation dates for my files are wrong?

    I've had this problem for a long time but I finally want to fix it once and for all. All the documents, pictures, and other files on my computer have the same creation date - 1/5/09. When you right click a file it shows the correct creation date but if I just left click it then it shows the wrong date. is there a way i can fix it?

    The creation date of your system will be the same for most of your system documents; there's easy no way to change this information. However, you might also see a more current date, indicating Modified information, and that will be more current.
    There are computer commands that will blank out much of your system data, but that's to be done in cases of major problems. Don't worry about the creation date of your computer/data.
    Post here if you have addtional questions, comments, praise!

  • Can I change iTunes & iPod display font (not font size) for selected files only?

    I loaded a Russian classical music CD into iTunes and iPod. On the original CD, titles, names etc. are written in cyrillic alphabet.  Once I loaded the CD into iTunes and on iPod this info was displayed unreadably in western alphabet.  Example:  "Èæå õåðóâèìû..." (Í. Ãîëîâàíîâ)Õîð È.
    I have cyrillic font on my Windows 7 computer.  Can I change the display font--for only these selected iTunes music files--to the cyrillic font?  Thanks!

    Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
    names.
    Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
    that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
    It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
    could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
    to read.
    And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
    with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
    BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
    increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
    little clearer.

  • Schema (*.xsd) for TDM file format?

    Our application (written in C#) has to...
    - parse the TDM file for specific information
    - edit the content of specific tags on the TDM file
    We use the normal MS XML engines to process the xml information in the TDM.
    Question: Is there an xml schema (*.xsd) available for the xml tags inside the TDM that we can use to...
    - validate the TDM
    - know which values are allowed inside the tags?
    So far I found nothing that would help me during my two day cruise thru internet, zone.ni.com, Online-Help.

    - We bought DIAdem SSP contract to our new DIAdem 9 license.
    - We also have bought LabView Developer Suite 1 year subscription.
    - We program a LV application for PXI 8186 controller.
    I also started a SSP technical query via telephone concerning the same topic but until now there is no answer.
    In our project we need technical information concerning the TDM file format since we will develop an C# application that works with TDM files.
    From the beginning:
    1) Our LV application logs vibration measurement data (multiple channel) into multiple WAV-files that are referenced channels for the TDM.
    2) So DI
    Adem is able to directly read and process the WAV-data via TDM.
    3) The third application (written in C#) has to read the TDM information and�
    - delete one channel or
    - change axis names or
    - change samplerate for one channel or, or, or�
    That�s why we are searching for a complete technical description of the TDM xml-schema:
    - Description of all available tags
    - Summary of all allowed data inside the tags
    and so on
    We already have the description for the DAT format.

  • DIAdem taking a long time to load 700MB TDMS file to data portal

    I'm trying to load a 700MB TDMS file into DIAdem ,4 channels 10Hz sampling rate over 4 days . When i drag the file into the data portal , diadem freezes up , its on a 2GB machine, file located on the desktop, not running any other programs and it went 50min without being able to load before i made it quit. seems to work fine on smaller files though . Was wondering if this sounds normal and if anyone knows a way around it.

    Thanks for all your input. 
    YongqinYe and Brad : I've tried defragmenting but this also seems to be taking a  long time (in excess of ) on 2 different machines. The index file is 300MB, so about 75% of the *.tdms, 
    Otmar:  i also tried registry loading the data but this still took a long time  on this particular file although it worked great on smaller files (5MB). 
    Brad : the file does not open in the labVIEW TDMS viewer  although i'm able to view it in chunks of 65000 using the TDMS importer for excel. 
    Stefan: the file does have explicit time stamp channel . 
    Any extra help would be appreciated but the way I'm thinking of doing it now is to use much longer buffer size (from only 6 to a few hundred) when collecting the data to decrease the level of fragmentation. 

  • Request for TDMS files (testing Matlab importing code)

    Dear all,
    I'm currently working on modifying the example 'ReadFile.m' that comes with the .dll from NI. I have got to a stage that I'm reasonably happy with, imports multiple groups with multiple channels of different sizes. Can import timestamp data, extra file properties.
    I will post up the completed code eventually but I wanted your help by sending me random formats of TDMS files, I have tested a few different formats, but mostly of my own concoctions so they may not cause errors that I need to make the code more robust.
    Any help appreciated sending TDMS file. Obviously don't send any data that you don't want the world to see.
    Many thanks in advance

    Not sure if there's anything in particular which you were looking for, but please see attached for a quick TDMS file I put together. It's a pretty basic file with random numbers, but hope it helps.

  • How do I select more then one channel to view in tdms file viewer graph panel

    I have a TDMS file that I can view with the labview 2013 TDMS file viewer and I can select one signal out of 15 signals to view on the graph panel. however I would like be able to look at 2 or 3 signals
    on the same graph but can't seem to be able to select more then one signal at a time. Is there a way to select more then one to view?  

    I've modified the TDMS viewer in the past to allow selecting multple channels.  It's a little bit of a pain because the tree control in the viewer only allows you to select one item.  You have to edit the tree to allow multiple items.  Now your selection is an array instead of a scalar.  This means the rest of the code has to be updated, and the references to the tree in subVIs need to be updated.  Not impossible but it takes some time.  Alternativly open it in Excel with the free add-in then you can select the two columns you want and insert a graph.  Not as simple for the user but using Excel, which users should be familiar with might mean users need less training on data files.

  • Excel Addon for TDMS Files

    Why is there a "NI_ChannelName" field (column H) when it is duplicate of the channel Label in column A?
    Solved!

    Did you use NI-DAQ to create the .tdms file?
    According to http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01​/lvwave/set_waveform_attribute/, the waveform attribute "NI_ChannelName" is set by NI-DAQ.

  • I have this weird right-click popup menu that displayes all of the options for FF:

    So sometimes when I right-click my mouse button this popup menu with all the options possible comes up... I have a picture if you need.
    P.S. It's not an addon or plugin; this happens to my friends computers and new Firefox installations too.

    This issue can be caused by an extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How can I register channels imported using DataFileLoad function in DIAdem 2012?

    Hallo,
    I would like to import data from Excel into the DIAdem 2012.
    I newly use DataFileLoad and ufi file to define import plugin.
    But when I want to copy a the imported channels to another group, I get err: The Channel argument of the AddChannel method must be IChannel.
    How can I register/convert/refersh channels, so I can work with them?
    I'm showing code sample I took from standard example collection, from: "Loading Excel Files with a DataPlugin", script file A_172132_ExcelDataPlugin.vbs
    Note: to get to worky my example you have to set proprely used paths
    If Not ItemInfoGet("sPathDocuments") Then
    Call GlobalDim("sPathDocuments")
    Call GlobalDim("sPathData")
    End If
    sPathDocuments = CurrentScriptPath
    sPathData = CurrentScriptPath & "..\Data\"
    call PrepareAndLoadDataset
    sub PrepareAndLoadDataset()
    Call Data.Root.Clear()
    If Not FileFilterExist("A_172132_Example") Then
    Call Navigator.RegisterDataPlugin(sPathDocuments&"A_172132_Example.uri",True)
    End If
    set MyGroup = DataFileLoad(sPathData & "A_172132.xlsx", "A_172132_Example","")
    set MyTemp = Data.Root.ChannelGroups.Add("temp")
    Call MyTemp.Channels.AddChannel(MyGroup.Item(1).ChannelGroups(1).Channels(1))
    end sub
    Thank you for advance.
    Radek
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Codr,
    Your script works fine on with my DIAdem 2012. I just defined "Dim MyGroup, MyTemp"
    The result is a new channel group with one channel. The channel is the first channel of the first group of the loaded dataset.
    In case you would like to register the Excel file (and not load it) you need toexpand the copied channel. This looks like this:
    sub PrepareAndLoadDataset()
    Call Data.Root.Clear()
    If Not FileFilterExist("A_172132_Example") Then
    Call Navigator.RegisterDataPlugin(sPathDocuments&"A_172132_Example.uri",True)
    End If
    dim MyGroup, MyTemp, oChn
    set MyGroup = DataFileLoad(sPathData & "A_172132.xlsx", "A_172132_Example","Register")
    set MyTemp = Data.Root.ChannelGroups.Add("temp")
    set oChn = MyTemp.Channels.AddChannel(MyGroup.Item(1).ChannelGroups(1).Channels(1))
    call ChnValExpand(oChn)
    end sub

  • DIAdem not saving all samples from TDMS file

    Hello to all,
    I have several large TDMS files (1.8Gb each) containing approx. 120 million sampels. When I try to open these fiels in Diadem it previews the correct amount of samples (120 Million), but when I try to save tha data in Matlab format it saves me only half the samples, 60 Million. Also, I have a Matlab script that opens the TDMS files and does exactly the same thing, it is not saving all samples. 
    Can you please advise me on this issue? Is there a way to automatically fragment large TDMS files into smaller ones?
    Best regards,
    Ion 

    Hello Jean Baptiste,
    It seems your TDMS file is fine since you have the correct number of data in DIAdem.
    It may comes from the conversion to the MatLab format. Maybe MatLab can't accept more than 60 millions data. You should ask that to the MatLab expert on their forum.
    However, if you want to fragment your TDMS file, you have to do it manually in DIAdem, when you load the file into the Data Portal, or you can automate the function by using VBScript. (Last panel in DIAdem)
    An other solution would be to fragment your TDMS file directly where you write it. (In LabVIEW maybe?)
