I've installed Tektronix_TDS5000 DataPlugin from this URL and reading Tektronix *.wfm files via Storage/DataPligin LabVIEW VIs. It take a very very long time, over two minutes, to read a single 25 million point waveform from WFM file this way. I understand it's stored in 8-bit raw binary format and should take no time at all. By comparison, it takes 1 second to load the same waveform after it was converted to TDMS file with 64-bit double-precision, 8 times as big, format. Is there a way to accelerate *.WFM input to acceptable rates?

Hi Fedor, Jeff, We've updated the latest version of the DataPlugin on web. The version reads I8 as fast as other datatypes. Thank you for reporting and helping on the issue. (The issue is not tracked by CAR, sorry). Best Regards, Mavis
