How to view both real data and timestamp information in TDM data viewer?

Attached, I have a VI that uses NI-Scope (NI-5122) to digitize and store data.  I have added some TDMS functions in order to save waveform data in binary format ( our acquisition time is around 3 hours and the files become very large)  As you can see, I am using TDM file viewer to view the data, the problem I am having is that I can only see the voltages and not time stamps.  I am interested in viewing and analyzing timestamped data.  I do see that the graph contains both voltages and timestamps and idealy I would like to see both in the value tab.
 
Please let me know what is the best way to see both sets of data. 
 
Thanks!

The TDMS file does preserve the timing information for a waveform, you can see it if you go to the 'Properties' tab.  The attributes are there to calculate the waveform timestamp data, however, it does not look like the code behind the TDMS file viewer supports displaying the timestamp values in a column on the 'Values' tab.  This seems like a good case for filing a product suggestion.  As for a work-around, if you are set on using a TDMS file and viewing the timing information you would require a custom version of a TDMS file viewer.
