Comtrade ASCII

[Simon_Stenfeldt]

Hi All

I am looking for an API for saving data in the Comtrade ASCII format.

I have looked into the LabVIEW 2012 Electrical Power Suite which unfortunately only support Comtrade Binary format.

I hope someone can help me out with this.

Have you had a look at this?

Hi

Thanks for the update, but I have looked at it. Unfortunately the inputs are not very suitable for my use (high channel count, many samples) and will have to be thoroughly rewritten in order to be useful. I was hoping someone had a more suitable implementation, maybe even an addition to the Electrical Power Suite with similar API.

Hi Simon.

I have only been able to find a script that enables you to read Comtrade ASCII files.

NI has a collection of the different plugins to LabVIEW (and DIAdem) that extend the file types supported:

DataPlugins: Supported Data Formats

On this list, you'll find Comtrade - but it is read only.
