TDMS

[Gaius]

I wrote a MATLAB mexFunction utilizing the TDMS library (nilibddc.dll, etc.). All elements of the library work well. I have one problem with the names for the properties. The library replaces parentheses, spaces, and question marks with underscore.

When viewing the same data with TDMS quickviewer, the spaces and parentheses and question marks show up.

Question: Is there a more up to date nilibddc.dll available that will not overwrite illegal characters? Or is there a way of reading the intended characters?

Thanks,

Fred

Gaius,

The most up-to-date TMDS Library can be found below. Please let me know if that overwrites the illegal characters as well.

Hi Fred,

not all characters are supported for property names throughout the whole NI software platform.

Please find in this thread (Problem creating channel property in tdm file) a list of all 'illegal' characters
