dsc versus tdms

[dt1804]

Can TDMS files be used to mimic the DSC module?

Hi dt,

Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by mimic? Thanks.

We aquire and store data now in the citidel using dsc.   We can then open up a viewer and pick multiple traces if we so desire.

Can multiple tdms files be open and displayed on the same graph?

Hi dt,

Do you mean that you want to graph those TDMS files in LabVIEW? The Citadel Database is something you can use when you install the DSC module, but it isn't connected to LabVIEW. You can get the basic functionality store your TDMS files on the database and then access them from LabVIEW without even having the DSC module.

Is that the answer you were looking for? If not, can you explain what you mean about mimicking the DSC module?

I'm not sure if it's possible to plot multiple TDMS files on the same plot in MAX. But it is probably possible in LabVIEW.

Please give me some more information about how you're planning to access/graph the data on the databases.

Thanks,
