Overview

This example shows how to Import a Custom Scale Data From TDMS File and transfer into MAX

 

Description

This code pulls custom scale data stored in a TDMS file, packages it, and saves it as a scale in Measurement and Automation Explorer.  The scales are stored in the TDMS file as a group.  The parameters, like slope and intercept for a linear scale, are stored as the data for that group.  The name, scale type, units and description are stored as properties of that group.  This program will not overwrite or delete any existing scales in MAX.

 

Requirements
LabVIEW 2012 (or Compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Run VI

  2. Open MAX and look at Scales
