Is it possible to open ATFX file in python?

[naseefo]

After conducting a vibration measurement, I have two resulting files in a folder- a *.DAT file and *.ATFX file. From the look of the contents in the ATFX file, it seem it contains meta information about the data present in the DAT file. Is it possible to decode this data to process in Python? Is their a library for it?

Hi naseefo. I believe it is possible to be done in LabVIEW.

I just do a quick search on our Data Plugins Webpage and I found there is a list of ATFX Plugin available for LabVIEW.

In my opinion, the steps would be as following:

1. Decode the data by using ATFX Plugin

2. Since the Plugin output data in the form of TDM model, use TDM nodes to extract the necessary information

3. Pass those data into Python node

Then voila 😄

Hi naseefo,

did you manage to implement it?

Hi Soo Kin Wah!

I have the same problem, and it would be amazing if the idea you propose here would work, but I am not too good with LabView. Could you maybe help me? Could you tell me roughly how this could be implemented or point me to any examples, documentations anything that could help?

Best regards,
