TDMS error -2511 Offset Too Large

I have some data on a tdms file, but when opening I get the error shown below

 

         Cannot load file "XXX" with loader "TDMS".

 

         further information:

         "TDS Exception in Initialize: Tds Error: TdsOffsetTooLarge(-2511):" 

         

I have tried deleting the index file and the error persist. 

 

Is there a way to get past this error or is the file beyond repair?

 

Thanks

Casey

Hi, 

The last segment of the file is incomplete. It only contains a few metadata. Delete it and the file now can be opened. The recovered file is attached.

Faustina,

 

I suspect he meant removing the last segment through some other sort of editor. For example you can open TDMS files with Notepad++ in hex format with a Hex editor plugin. Then, using the TDMS format and structure, you can find where and how your data is stored and try deleting or fixing it.
