Extract strings in tdms file and write the strings into txt file or lvm file

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi all,

 

I am having trouble to extract strings from a tdms file to write them into a txt file.

The strings were written in tdms is a time stamp data recorded from a compact RIO. 

I have put the string into a different group of the tdms, but when I use tdms read function with the group name I specified, an error message is always turn out.

Thanks for all the help.

 

Ps: I have attached a sample tdms file that I have got over here.

 

Regards,

Yifeng

I tried your attached file and it seems everything goes file. I attached the screenshot of my VI here, is that what you want?

For the node "TDMS Read", it has a terminal called "data type", you have to wire an array of string to it and for the output terminal "data", you also need to wire an array of string to it, so that you can read it out.
