DataPlugin for *.dmd file

[smulugeta]

Hello,

I have 48-channel temperature data collected by a new data acquisition device that saves the data as *.dmd file. I have been unable to export the data as a *.csv file from the device and I was wondering if I could read the data using LabVIEW but I could not find a DataPlugin for a *.dmd file. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you!

Whoever makes the device and software needs to explain what the format of a dmd file is. Don't you know their name or who to contact? You haven't mentioned them In your post so how can anyone here help? You haven't even provided a sample of the file, though that might help either.

Thank Dennis.

It's a new modular data acquisition system (Trion) by Dewetron. I have expressed the problem with the company and they're planning to come up with a fix in the near future, in the mean time I'm not able to see the data. I tried to attach a sample file, but I got an error stating that "The file does not have a valid extension for an attachment".

You should zip the file but as I said, it might not do any good. If it's binary, the data could be meaningless without knowing what the contents are even supposed to represent.

Please see attached.

Here is an information on a *.dmd file:

DMD files are created by Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeller, a program used to design structured data models such as relational database schemas. They store data structure and relationships, and can be displayed visually in software.

Thanks.

I don't think Oracle has anything to do with Dewetron software. I think you just googled dmd and don't realize that anyone else can use any extension they feel like using.

Yes, you are correct that I did not know that anyone can use any file extension as they feel like it.
