Here is my TDMS file also.

You should be able to do this pretty simply using the "TDMS List contents" VI, it takes in a reference from an open TDMS file and outputs a 1D array of the Group Names and a 2D array of the Group and Channel Names.

Yeah I tried that but it said that one of the names is wrong

Were you wiring in a group name to the VI? You should just be able to wire in the TDMS reference and it will generate the 2D Array with all the channel names. Its pretty basic and should end up looking like:

Otherwise I tend to use another simple VI if I just want to look at the details of a TDMS File. Just build into an EXE and run it to view a TDMS file withou needing to worry about excel or anything.
