TDMS error -2511 Offset Too Large

[Awesome_Sauce]

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.

how did you remove the last segment of the file?  it won't open in DIAdem

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.
