Using Python, continually sample two AI modules and apply a timestamp to the readings?

This should meet your requirement.

You can also enable TDMS logging, which captures the t0 of the first sample. You can then browse TDMS files or read using npTDMS · PyPI.

Can you please show to you extract t0 (assuming that's the only one available from the log file?

 

 tdms_file = TdmsFile.read(os.getcwd() + '\data.tdms', raw_timestamps = True)

    for group in tdms_file.groups():
        group_name = group.name
        print(group.properties)
        for channel in group.channels():
            print(channel.properties)

 

The above code gives me this ouptut:

OrderedDict()
OrderedDict([('NI_Scaling_Status', 'unscaled'), ('NI_Number_Of_Scales', 2), ('NI_Scale[1]_Scale_Type', 'Linear'), ('NI_Scale[1]_Linear_Slope', 2.6226045264365987e-09), ('NI_Scale[1]_Linear_Y_Intercept', 0.0), ('NI_Scale[1]_Linear_Input_Source', 0)])

The t0 and dt are the metadata of the channel properties. If you open the TDMS file with Excel, you can see t0 & dt and data are on two different worksheets. For more details, NI TDMS File Format - What is a TDMS File?

I have attached an example to read the TDMS file.
