Here's a link to another example for reading TDMS files from Matlab. This one focuses on retrieving string information like channel names. Unfortunately, it's another single special-purpose example, just like the standard one that was linked earlier in this thread. These examples may be fairly helpful to Matlab jockeys who know their way around pointers and handles, strings and cell arrays, memory allocation, etc. But I for one am still struggling to wrap my head around it all.
I'd love to see a more thorough Matlab script that could convert TDMS data into a Matlab .mat file with sensible variable names. I'm muddling through it myself now, trying to name the variables based on the group and channel names, making use of Matlab's immensely cool "eval" function. But it sure seems tedious. I'm disappointed that NI hasn't done a more thorough job of providing tools for working with the data. It's possible they did a nice job on the Excel plugin, but I wouldn't know -- some of us don't have a modern enough version, not to mention that Excel is a horrible environment for large datasets.

ALERT! LabVIEW's subscription-only policy came to an end (finally!). Unfortunately, pricing favors the captured and committed over new adopters -- so tread carefully.
