Append data to tdms format

[Kristina]

Hi!

I'm using SignalExpress 2.0 to collect data. The data collection is started and stopped by a start and a stop condition. I would like to collect all recorded data in one tdms file, instead of generating individual tdms files for each recorded segment of data. Is that possible?

Thanks for any help,

Kristina

Hi Kristina,

Each time you run a script in SignalExpress a new tdms log file will be generated, and there is no way to append the data from one script run to the data of a previous script run.  As an alternative, you could add a "Save to ASCII/LVM" step and choose the option to append to file if the file already exists.

Hi,

thanks for the info. Is there a possibility to append to binary files by writing a suitable LabView VI?

you might want to try the VI attached to this thread:
