Analyzing a .TDMS file

[pjrose]

The Excel TDM add-in is installed by default with LabVIEW but it's also available as a free download to make exchanging data between engineers a little easier.

So, bear with me Dennis, I use the Read TDMS.vi to open up the file and then from there read the data into arrays? Is that what you are suggesting?

Try this code.

Thanks Charles, I'll give that a shot.  Also YongqingYe I used the .vi from this post to convert the .tdms programmatically: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Convert-Import-TDMS-to-Excel/td-p/1088746

Charles, that .vi works great! Any idea how I can turn this into a batch process for several files?

Make the VI that I sent you a SubVI (connect the path, min, max and mean to the connector pane). Write code to return an array of files, put the SubVI in a for loop and run it. See attached for getting started.

Wow, very helpful.  Thanks again.

I see. Thank you, sam.ferguson.

In LV 2013, there's a new feature to write Excel .xlsx files by using Write to Measurement File Express VI, just for your information.
