Programmatically Create Smaller TDMS Files

[A_Ryan]

Overview

This example demonstrates how to split large tdms files into smaller ones.

Description

This example shows how to take a large TDMS file and create a series of smaller TDMS files that include subsets of the same information. The iteration terminal is used to uniquely identify each TDMS File as ...parti.tdms.

I created an example similar to this one that handles memory errors associated with trying to write files that are too large. For example, you could split a 2 GB TDMS file into 250 MB chunks using this other example, even if you don't have much memory available.
