Query property names from TDM file

[Joe_Gerhardstein]

I am using TDM files to save data from a test.  In the File level, I am inserting a number of custom property tags (using the Set Property.vi in the File I/O -> Storage -> Advanced Storage pallet).

Is there a way to query the names of these properties after the file has been written?  For example, if I put in a custom property "TestLocation", is there a way I can find out the name of this property later, so I can read the value out?

List Properties in the Advanced Storage menu.

Thanks, Ton.

However, this only lists the default properties for the Object Type.  E.g., for the File Level, the only properties that are listed are Name, Description, Title, Author, DateTime, ChannelGroups, RegisterTxt1, RegisterTxt2 and RegisterTxt3.  If I have custom properties that I have implemented, such as TestLocation, these are NOT listed.

Do you know a way to list the custom properties?

Hi Joe,

Please try the attached VI for custom properties names.

Thanks Mavis.  That works.

Out of curiosity, is this documented somewhere, or insider knowledge?

Joe, I don't think it's been documented, unfortunately......
