DIAdem - Channel DataType Conversion

[pria]

Hi,

I have a tdms file which contains date,time and other data. The issues is all this channels have been acquired/created as String data type, how do I convert the data type of these channels to Date/Time or Float64 respectively? I tried allocating a new channel with respective types and passing the values but I could not achieve. Can some one please help on how I can quickly convert the datatype of a Channel?

I used DIAdem 11.1 in Windows 7 OS.

Wating for your earliest response..

Thanks in advance

Hi Priya,

I'm afraid there's no very quick way to convert the TDMS channel data type. The data type of a TDMS channel cannot be changed once the file is written, I'm not very familiar with DIAdem, but I guess the situation would be similar. Maybe you have to read all the data values and then write them to a new TDMS file. It would be a workaround for converting the channel's data type.
