That's where they play - it's the tool they're proficient with and have a group license for. Realistically, this means converting data into Matlab. That means they need to be able to handle the data format. What I *want* to do is create test apps that produce lots of data that our analysts can play around with to their hearts' content. I suppose the Excel plugin might be kinda useful IF we had the right version of Excel AND we had IT privileges for installing plugins AND Excel weren't so dog-slow with 10's of MB of data. There's a woeful shortage of useful tools available for manipulating TDMS files, especially outside of LabVIEW or (presumably) Diadem. I really like it for writing, but am on the verge of abandoning it because it's been too cumbersome to work with after the fact. Gripe: TDMS has gotten quite a bit of promotion as a preferred file format for LabVIEW data storage.

It was a great point of reference when I developed custom vi's for reading my own particular files.Дoes anyone have a comparable example in Matlab, capable of reading all the info from a TDMS file and saving it to appropriate variables? At the moment, I can't even figure out how to use the Matlab pointer datatypes to read channel names and create named variables for the TDMS channel data I read in. Hasn't anyone at NI worked up a more illustrative and universal example? Under LabVIEW, the TDMS file viewer gives us a quick way to inspect the entire contents of any TDMS output files. It also doesn't demonstrate how one would extract any of of the file, group, or channel property info, without which a bunch of unidentified and unlabeled data is fairly useless. It only reads the channel's data values, but it does *not* identify any of the channels by name. But I'll be darned if I can figure out what I need from the linked knowledgebase example, which is far too rudimentary. Ok, so *theoretically*, one can read TDMS file information into Matlab.
