How to log *.tdms and *.lvm at the same time?

[splee]

Hi,

I am using "Write to Measurement File" control to log *.tdms file. I would like to log a text file (.lvm) as well.

Question:

1) Besides using two "Write to Measurement File" controls, is there any other way to log the text file? For example, a vi to convert *.tdms file to *.lvm file?

2) How do I view *.tdms file, outside the LabVIEW environment?

Hi splee,

1) I'm afraid there's no direct way to convert TDMS files to LVM files, maybe you have to implement one by yourself 🙂 If you want to logging data to both TDMS and LVM files at the same time, maybe you can consider to use "Write to Measurement File" to write to LVM files and "TDM Streaming" VIs to log to TDMS files, this ways is similar to using 2 "Write to Measurement File" 🙂

2) If you are using other NI software, like DIAdem, CVI and so on, you can also view TDMS files in them. And if you install LV or DIAdem, the Microsoft Excel TDM files addon is also installed, you can view TDMS files in MS Excel.
