tdms header rearrangement

[gilligan18]

Hi there 🙂 ,

I 'm transfering a tdms file to excel and I'm also using the header you can create in labview.

Now I want to rearrange this header completely. So far I couldn't find a way to do this except selecting existing properties or adding properties. Is there some way to do this?

If not, is there a possibility to access the complete first page of the spreadsheet (header) using labview? So that I can delete the existing header and create a new one instead.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

The TDMS-file represents a data structure that consists always of:

A dataset with any number of properties and channelgroups

  -  A channelgroup has any  number of properties and channels

      - A channel has any number of properties and values

There is no header in a classic sense like in a Spreadsheet - or even "sheets". And, some properties are automatically created by LabVIEW.

To import Data in Excel - if you are not using NI´s Data Managing Tool DIADEM - there is a PlugIn:

I do not quite understand, what you want to do with your data: what I understand is, you want to restructure your existing data files?

In that case, you can read the data with the TDMS-Palette-Functions into LabVIEW and save them in a new TDMS-File, in whatever way you want to, as long as it follows the TDM structure mentioned above.
