merge tdm files?

[nonlocality]

I have five different binary files that were created from reading 28 daq channels.  I have followed the tdm example of taking the five binary files and creating five separate tdm files.

I would like to merge or combine them into one or two master tdm files by setting up each separate binary/tdm file as a separate group and then merging them into one master tdm file which is then easier to deal with when using diadem.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?  The tdm information available and sample vi's are pretty weak.

There are examples in Labview 8 called Write Channel Groups and Read Channel Groups. They seem pretty similiar to what you want.

Yeah I saw this but it is just teaching you the basics of how to read/write tdms.

What I am looking for is something like using the the TDM write header palette to convert multiple binary files into a single TDM file.
There are examples that demonstrate a single binary to a single TDM but not multiple binarys to a single tdm.

The given example is useful since the binary file does not have to be open/read to do the TDM conversion.  Since my files are large I would like to avoid this option.

OK, it was a long shot that you hadn't seen the examples. Sometimes people forget to look there first.

I am at home so I don't have LV in front of me but could it be possibe to load each file up in turn to get at the signals then group the signals accordingly into one TDM using the vi's in the storage palette.

Incidently, I didn't see the example you were talking about. Do you need DIADEM installed?
