How to Read TDMS Files in Matlab in OSX

Using the example found on the NI website (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0EEADA99DC7D00A4862572E30037C3A2), I am able to read my TDMS files into Matlab when using a PC. However, when I try to read them on my Mac, I receive an error:
??? There was an error loading the library "/Applications/MATLAB75/work/TDMS_files/dev/bin/nilibddc.so"
Error using ==> loaddefinedlibrary
dlopen(/Applications/MATLAB75/work/TDMS_files/dev/bin/nilibddc.so, 1): image not found
Error in ==> read_tdms at 21
loadlibrary(DLL_Path, H_Path);
My best guess for this error is the fact that Matlab operates through a Linux interface on Mac, which I found will open the file type .so and not .dll for this type of library. Is there some way to get around this in OSX and get it to read the .dll files? Or is there some way to get the libraries as .so files instead of .dll files?
Thanks for any help!

Shelby,
You may wish to look at a Matlab script another user wrote since they were having issues with NI's matlab support:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=318487#M318487
The script supposedly converts TDMS files directly in Matlab with no use of NI generated external DLLs. He was having issues because the NI tools hadn't been updated for the new version of Matlab.

Read TDMS file in MATLAB on x64 Windows

I have read many posts on this forum regarding reading TDMS files in MATLAB, but the DLL available only works on 32-bit windows. Has anyone come up with a 64-bit DLL? I know there is some MATLAB code available to read the file as binary but it would make everything faster for me if there was already a DLL similar to the 32-bit version. Plus, using C code would be better since I want to read the file continously (perhaps every 2 seconds) in MATLAB for real-time analysis.

As of now, there is no support for 64 bit but it is a possible feature for future releases. Keep an eye on the DLL download page for new versions.

Reading TDMS files in Matlab

I am trying to read TDMS files directly into Matlab using the NI nilibddc.dll. I have read most of the posts on here but still have a problem...
Within Matlab I can open and read a file and get the data but I cant find anything that tells me what the sample interval (between samples) is for a particular file. I guess its in the header somewhere but how do I access it?
I cant find anything that tells what function to use to get it from the header.
In fact i cant find anyhting that tells me what the functions are in the DLL.
I tried opening the CHM help file, this has a list of all the functions but when you click on one in the contents it reports 'the address is not valid'. It seems the link is borken somehow in the help file (this is on XP)!
any help gratefully receieved!

hi mike,
if your data is stored in form of waveforms, this information can be retrieved from the channel:
Entity
Property
Data type
Description
tdm_channel
wf_xname
string
Name of the x-channel of the waveform
tdm_channel
wf_xunit_string
string
Unit text of the x-channel
tdm_channel
wf_start_time
time
Time stamp for the waveform
tdm_channel
wf_start_offset
double
Starting offset (to be added to the time stamp)
tdm_channel
wf_increment
double
Increment
tdm_channel
wf_samples
long
Number of samples in one shot (needed by LabVIEW when concatenating
more consecutive shots). This property is used by DIAdem and DataFinder to decide whether the tdm_channel is a waveform (wf_samples > 0) or not (wf_samples = 0, or not existing).
tdm_channel
wf_time_pref
string
(enum: "absolute" or "relative") Additional information for LabVIEW to
determine if the x-channel is treated as time (absolute) or as index
(relative). (not available in LVM)

How to read binary file in Matlab

"Hello all!
Labview 7.0 has an example "Cont Acq to File (binary).vi" log the PCI 6014 card and writes the data to a binary file. How can I read that
file in Matlab(6.5.0... R13)? Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hello,
Basically you can do it by saving the data in a file in MATLAB and reading it directly from LabVIEW, or vice versa. In MATLAB , the command "save" allows you to save the data in binary format (*.mat) or ASCII format. You also have an option of saving it in ASCII format using a tab delimiter between data points.
There is a knowledge base which talks in detail about how to share data in between labview and matlab Import data from labview to Matlab and vice versa.
Hope this helps. If not, please feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck and have a great day!

Reading TDMS files in Matlab - problems with the example code

I want to use the TDMS files to store data and do offline analysis in Matlab, version 2009b (either on Mac OS10.6 or Windows XP).
To test the data import in Matlab I tried the example from http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0EEADA99DC7D00A4862572E30037C3A2 , but without success.
I tried either with and without the path definition (as explained on the page I referred to before) at the start, and got back the following errors:
with:
??? Error using ==> loadlibrary>deltempfiles at 559
nilibddc_m.i.
Error in ==> loadlibrary at 452
deltempfiles(delfiles);
Error in ==> Read_TDMData at 7loadlibrary([examplePath '\nilibddc'], hfile);
without:
??? Error using ==> loadlibrary>deltempfiles at 559
nilibddc_m.i.
Error in ==> loadlibrary at 452
deltempfiles(delfiles);
Error in ==> Read_TDMData at 36loadlibrary(NI_TDM_DLL_Path,NI_TDM_H_Path);
I found a few messages on the issue, dating from 2006 and 2007, that didn't lead to a satisfying solution and was hoping that, by now, there would be a solution to my problem.
Thanks a lot

Hi Musk,
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately it didn't help as my problem is not discussed there. I have a problem with this line:
loadlibrary(NI_TDM_DLL_Path,NI_TDM_H_Path);
I said before that I was using 2009b, but I was mistaken, I have R2008a, but the 'loadlibrary' is opened in a 2008b editor (no idea why). On the Mac I have 2009b installed.
Thanks

How to import .tdms file to Matlab running in Unix system?

I was using DAQmx to acquire 16 channels of sampled data to .tdms format and later on will need to import the data to a Matlab programme. My question is, the Matlab we have is installed in a Unix system. But the tdms to Matlab example given in NI website, as in the link below, has problem when i run it in Unix system.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/0EEADA99DC7D00A4862572E30037C3A2?opendocument&Submitted&&...
Errors occurred in the "loadlibrary" function. I was told that in Unix system, a different file instead of .dll file shall be used?
Can anyone make an example to read tdms data, that will work in a Matlab installed in Unix system?

I have plenty of experience working in LabVIEW and with TDMS however very little in using it in other software. I have downloaded the example code on this end but since I don't have your software installed on my machine, there is not a ton I can do in walking you through it. However, I understand this is a very helpful newsgroup for that environment.
Since you said you modified the header, to make sure everything is in line prior to entering other program, this is a good resource on the TDMS file structure.

How to read TDMS file use DDC_GetDataValuesString in C language.

1. Below code is correct, because the numDataValues is one, machine=sibot
char ss[10]={0};
    char *strMachine=new char[1];
    *strMachine=ss[10];
    nullChk (strMachine = (char *) malloc (sizeof (char) * (unsigned int)numDataValues));
    ddcChk (DDC_GetDataValuesString (channels[i], 0, (unsigned int)numDataValues, &strMachine));
    printf ("Channel value for Machine : %s\n", strMachine);
---then show "nel value for Machine : sibot"
2. But when the numDataValues is more one, I can't get all the data in the TDMS file, only can get the first one.
eg:
data one is FI,
data two is O
but I only can get FI....
what's wrong?? How to solve it?? The data format as attachment.

Hi KittyDeng,
I guess the problem is from here:
char *strMachine=new char[1];
You allocated a char array of only 1 element which will not hold as many chars.
The best way to solve the problem is to allocate more memory than that of the data, where in your case, you can write:
char *strMachine=new char[20];//or set more than 20
Hope this helps.

HI Hareesh,
i have gone through that blog.
i tried it...but i am getting mapping error no receiver determination fond because there are so many excel files.
my data is available on sharedString.xml but also it is in not same order.
i have no clue how to handle this part form the blog.
"This way our mapping will receive all data from the sheet in an XML format. The only thing that's left is to create an XSD file from the XML file we received in order to be able to use it in the mapping and as our Service Interface and we can proceed with mapping. As you can see from the sheet.xml files all the data is placed with column name and row number so it's not that difficult to map it to an table type format using the Message Mapping only (no java, abap mapping required)."
