a faster way for PDM-to-Excel conversion?

I connect my packets received using blocks PDM, since it is suggested that IO low is the fastest. Since I need data in formal Excel, after my experience, I run a small code that uses 'Reading file of measure' and 'Write in the file of the measure' blocks to convert TDMS to Excel.

This conversion takes too long, for example 15 minutes from port of 1 million bits of PDM for Excel (I connect packets in their binary form, of 1 and 0). I have attached the VI conversion.

I have 2 questions:

1. does anyone know any faster way for the conversion of PDM in Excel?

2. I need the block 'Reading files measure' in my conversion code since the packets received are saved in TDMS in the form of a single vector, and I need to convert this very long vector in a matrix where each line corresponds to a received packet. Is it possible to make connecting TDMS in the form of a matrix, instead of one vector? This can be slow down my code much.

Thank you!

Hi filipfilip,

Have you considered using the TDM Excel add-in? You can then save the resulting Excel workbook and get the desired file format.

More information can be found here:

There is a solution on this post on the forum too which can allow you to do this automatically. I don't know how much faster it would be than your current method but I think it would be interesting to give it a go.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you
