tdms error 2500

[aartjan]

Hi all,
I am experiencing a lot of errors (#2500) with opening and or reading from TDMS files in executables. The errors don't occur in the developer system. There is little use in including an example VI, even simple TDMS read executables seem to suffer the issue. Error 2500 is not defined, so I am somewhat at a loss.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Hallo Aart-Jan,

could it be that it is related to this issue (error -2513)

I had a similar problem when I just updated to 8.2.1 (I updated 8.2 and I ran the simulation.msi fix). I fixed it by opening the project recompiling it (ctrl-shift click on the run button), doing a save all. Then rebuilding the project into an exe.

I'd guess that one of the tdms vi's needed to be recompiled.

I'm currently investigating an issue that seems to be the same thing (CAR# 47TCG77Q). Error -2500 occurs when an application that was compiled with LabVIEW 8.20 runs on a machine that has the LabVIEW 8.2.1 RTE installed. That typically occurs if you install LabVIEW 8.20 and DAQmx 8.5 on the same machine. It works if you use LabVIEW 8.2.1 instead, it also works if you have DAQmx 8.3 instead of 8.5. I'll post more on this as soon as I have identified the root cause of the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

By experience I can add to the equation that the issue also occurs running an executable with runtime 8.2 and build with 8.2.1

On further investigation, there is not much good news. Unfortunately, we do not have a workaround for the incompatibility between the TDMS functions in the LabVIEW 8.2 and 8.2.1 runtime engines.

An application that uses TDMS and is compiled with 8.2 will only run with the 8.2 runtime engine. It will not work with DAQmx 8.5 (or higher) installed, since this updates the runtime engine to 8.2.1. The runtime engines for 8.2 and 8.2.1 cannot coexist on one machine.

If your application requires DAQmx 8.5 to be installed, the only way of getting things running is to compile your application with LabVIEW 8.2.1.

For the same reasons, an application compiled with 8.2.1 will not run with the LabVIEW 8.2 runtime engine.

Hi,
I think my TDMS pronlems are related to this issue.
With a LabView 8.2.1 upgrade + LabView 8.2.1 RT Upgrade + simulation.msi fix + LV 8.2.1 run time engine, I am still unable to get TDMS Open to work on my RT Controller. I will try the suggested solution of recompiling the project to see if that helps -> but I thought that the vi's were automatically recompiled if the version is not the same as the LabView version.
