Large rate of data acquisition

[TomPurves]

Hi there

So the data to TDMS logging seems to work, the only issue is that when I try to view the data there are move values than Excel will allow in a single worksheet. This data will eventually be passed to something like Matlab or Root for analysis - what is the best way to extract the voltages, or should I just go with producer/consumer as suggested... it seems quite complex and i'm fairly new to Labview as you can probably tell.

Excel is the wrong software for dealing with that much data.

Older Excel only had 65536 rows, which would only handle about 1/4 second of your data.

New Excel is better at over 1 million rows. (1,048,576).  But that is still only about 4 seconds of your data.

What were you planning on doing with the data in Excel?  I found that Excel pretty much chokes on trying to graph that much data.

If you need to do some analysis or graphing that you don't want to do in the "Math" software, you are better off writing other LabVIEW VI's to read your TDMS file and work with it there.
