Coding Multiple TDMS Set Properties Efficiently

[Steve Koza]

I am trying to save some test settings as TDMS properties.  I have figured out the mechanics of saving individual properties to the file, but I have 25 or so properties to write to the file.  What is the most efficient way to code this in LV, so that I don't have to use the "TDMS Set Properties" block 25 different times?  I have tried sending the block arrays, but it doesn't like that.  Is there some kind of loop I can use?

For properties of the same or different data types, respectively:

 

For more advanced use cases (clusters, arrays of clusters), there's a library on LAVA that'll split this stuff up into properties and put it back together on read. Unfortunately, the link I had to the LAVA discussion thread seems to not work any more.

I recovered the link to the discussion thread, but the links to the code appear to be broken. I don't have a copy of the library available, so you might need to log into LAVA and send a message to PJM_LabVIEW.

Hope that helps,

That solution worked for me, Herbert.  I just had to change around some wiring and it worked.  Thanks!
