Greetings from Michigan,
I have a program that writes/appends data to a TDMS file. When the file is "full" (when datapoints in ChannelGroup(0) >= xAmount), the program creates a new TDMS file and continues on. It's automated. My question is straight forward: Instead of creating a whole new TDMS file, can't I just create a new ChannelGroup and continue to fill the next tab in the existing TDMS file with data, then continue on in that fashion? That way, a single test (continuous data streaming for hours or days) will consist of only one (1) TDMS file with many tabs of filled data as opposed to many TDMS files where each only has one tab filled with data. Maybe this is the common way of doing it?
I don't want to invest time and effort trying it before I know that's its not a big deal to do it.
Thanks,
D

Hello D,
I am tempted to say yes to your question because there is a way to create tabs in LabVIEW.
TDMS with timestamp and different tab creation
