DIAdem

How do I save the data in the portal to a CSV with channel units in the second row of the CSV?

Perhaps I should clarify a little.  I am using diadem as a bridge between a custom MATLAB analysis tool and a AOP data store.  I need to save the file as a tab-delimited text file with an extension of .xls.  Using File->Save As with text file-Auto Detect, works as expected, except that I don't get the units of the data channels.  I have tried to use excel export to save it as an xls, but my custom MATLAB tool does not like the file. 

In case someone is going to suggest it, I have attempted to save my data as a *.mat file so MATLAB can open it's own format, but I get some odd behavior with the MATLAB variable names.  I am investigating how to correct this, but in the mean time, I need a bridge to save the file as a tab-delimited text file. 

Thanks.

I assume there is no way to add unit in second line.

Maybe access TDM/TDMS from Matlab may help you.

That's unfortunate... Diadem can read in units from a text file, but not write them?  I believe I could do this programatically with txt file write commands, but I feel like I would be re-inventing the wheel. 

Thanks for the link, I will read about getting MATLAB to open a TDM(S) file, but at that point, I think getting Diadem to export directly to a .mat file would probably be easier for me.

I assume Brad saved your day. He attached an example http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/60/2115/1/DIAdem%20ASCII%20Export.zip .

Not the first time Brad has provided a solution for my needs.    

Thanks!
