Writing Strings to TDMS File (Doing it wrong...)

[rkmadse]

I'm trying to set up my program to write to a TDMS file. I believe that mabye selecting the TDMS format was a bad choice because of how I've been asked to format the data at the output.

I love the ability of being able to set file level properties. But my format needs to be something similar to below:

The only real "data" is the timestamp and the measurement, the rest are simply strings. Is there a way to write strings to a TDMS File as a channel? Or must I absolutely use properties for this? Or should I just move from TDMS to a writing to a spreadsheet directly?

Thanks,

Kellen

No, TMDS is a very good choice!

I do not have any problem writing strings to a channel, see the following example snippet:
