How to keep creation date/time values when transforming FAMOS-.dat files to .TDM-files?

[Udo G.]

Hi,

I have to transform data from FAMOS-.dat format into DIAdem-.TDM format.

I do this automatically with the following VBScript commands

Call DataFileLoad("fileXYZ.dat","","")
  Call DataFileSave("fileXYZ.TDM","TDM")

Hello Udo G.,

The easiest way to import Famos files into DIAdem is to use the DIAdem Famos DataPlugin. You can download it from the NI DataPlugin Web Page: www.ni.com/dataplugins.

Hi Walther,

thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my request had been posted before I had finished editing...

I already use the PlugIn you mentioned. However, when saving the TDM-file, it gets the current time stamp. This is not what I want. I want to save the creation time stamp of the FAMOS-file into the TDM one. With my actual solution I loose the original creation time stamp.

May-be, there is a VBScript command to change the creation time of a TDM file?

What does work, is that I edit the TDM file, that is change the values of 

        <string_attribute name="datestring">
        <string_attribute name="timestring">
However, this is not the optimal procedure.

Thanks for any hints,

Udo

Hi Udo,

Yes, DIAdem supports the comand FileDateSet which provides the modification for file creation, last access and modification.
