How to retrieve properties of TDMS files in VBScript?

We try to focus on some variables of our capture program of Labview in our DIAdem evaluation tool - the length of the videos that we are capturing and the overlap between them.

We kept them as properties associated with the PDM file, but I can't understand how to access in a script. Any advice?

Hi PGribble,

Save the properties to the file level, group level, or the level of the channel?  If you have saved the properties to the file level, you have loaded a single file in the DIAdem data portal, or you have loaded several files into the data portal?

If you can see the property you want in the table property of the Data Portal, you can simply drag the name of this property in the Panel in your VBScript SCRIPT tiara-DIAdem will insert the code to read this property.

  • Retrieve tdx without tdm file data

    Hello

    I have a tdx 3.7 GB containing important data file, but the file TOC is empty. All my other files are fine and I barely noticed it (although it is probably the second most important). I hope that it is of the tdx data recovery?

    I wondererd if I could recreate the TOC file, because I know EXACTLY what process has created it and so could repeat and copy and paste the new file. Anyone know if it works, or have any other ideas? (I ask here as idon't want to spend loads of time to do if it does not work).

    Thank you very much for your help, I could really do with this data,

    James

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your message.

    Unfortunately there is no way to recover the data raw tdx, if the CT file is lost. The tdx file is data binary raw efficiently and without the metadata contained in the file of the tdm, there is no way to determine it's significant. This means also that you cannot create the file TOC the tdx file alone.

    If you are able to recreate exactly the same tdm file initially used with the file tdx concerned, who would be the simplest solution in this scenario and should allow you to view the data.

    Hope this helps, let me know how you go.

    Kind regards

  • How to retrieve a large vmdk file in ESXi?

    Hello

    I desperately need help. I have a server with ESXi. One of the virtual machines in this server had a top serving our customers mail server. We had to move this mail server to a different location. When I tried to re - create the virtual machine with the same e-mail server (for testing purposes) all of a sudden, the big vmdk file disappeared. Of course, when I try to load the machine now, it gives an error "file not found".

    I read on other pages on how to recreate the vmdk file, but they were all on ESX and has not worked for me. The best method was present.

    Please can someone help me on how I can get the big vmdk file?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    seedeg

    OK... explaining:

    A VMDK file is the union between a VMNAME.vmdk header file and a file VMNAME - flat hard. The datastore browser, when you have both, they appear as one, as on the second screenshot.

    The virtual machine always point to the VMNAME.vmdk file, which points to the VMNAME - flat hard, which really contains the data. You will never see the dish once that these two files are located on the data store, but sometimes people delete it and I was suggesting that it may have happened to you.

    Hard 00000files are instant. They are the changes on the original flat file logs, but if you don't have it you can't rebuild since the change to connect because you do not have the original data map.

    You may need to call a company to recover files from disks, or look for some tools which does this in VMFS volumes - I don't know everything, since VMFS is too simple and not to keep track of deleted files unless you take a snapshot of the file system in some time.

    If you do not have backups and can produce the VMDK or the flar. VMDK no matter where, there is nothing more I can do to help you. Sorry about that

  • How to merge and write analog inputs, and export data to a tdms file?

    I have a vi who writes analog inputs in tdms files. I also want to write the analog output signals, which are 2d table entries in the same PDM file with additional columns representing the analog output signals. How can I get this feature?

    Hey Crossrulz,

    So you're saying that writing two files tdms with entries as HAVE and AO, will write everything in a file single tdms AOs and Ais?

    N ° you write in the same file, just different GROUPS.  TDMS is a hierarchical data format.  You have the file, group, channel.  Waveform data will actually in the channel data.  But you can have metadata on any level.  So, I do a group I and a group of the AO.

  • Get the properties of a large TDMS file is very slow

    I have a very large file PDM with about 3000 properties. After that I open the file, it will take about 2 sec to read a property with the PDM get properties VI. I'm reading all the properties, so I can do some calculations on them. It takes too long to read them all. Y at - it a faster way to read. I think now I should have stored the values in a channel, but it does not help my situation.

    George

    Thank you for your answer, George!

    Then, I'm afraid that there is no simple workaround solution unfortunately. If possible, you may want to consider splitting the TDMS file to some smaller TDMS files. We had similar bugs report, on the performance of the PDM get properties, especially when having a large number of properties PDM, we worked on possible optimization now.

  • How to convert one or more files LVM of large file TDMS (500 MB, 32 M samples - 2 channels)

    I would like to be able to read at least 4 million lines of data total 32 million lines at a time. The TDMS file has given for 2 channels and no time data. If I can convert TDMS files in one or more files LVM, I can read large files of LVM using the JMP software.  I'm using Labview 2009. Please provide suggestions.

    Thanks in advance. Best regards, Manish (Univ of a to z)

    Hi Manish,

    For your problem with is .tdms to .lvm, take a look at this forum and This example of community.  I checked out, and in my opinion, he should be able to work well for you in regards to creating multiple files .lvm from single .tdms file.  The only thing that could be a problem is the time requirement to enter all in LV, and saves data to several files, but you will encounter when you work with large consumed data.

    I would also suggest that you take a look at tiara if you are searching by analyzing large data sets.  The program is designed to manage large sets of data and make the analyzation on the data.

  • How combine tdms files

    Can someone help please...

    My compact rio records in recent weeks, and to avoid loss of data (power failure etc.), the connected tdms files are divided into segments of 10 MB. The trouble begins when I try to attach the files to back up. The only way that I can find is to drag all the files in the tiara browser window, and then use the copy data view operations data table for each section of the file block - make a note of the new total line as the original file increases in length. It is a very boring and repetitive task.

    Does anyone have a script function to perform this task in batch?

    Concerning

    Karoline

    The most effective way to do this is actually through the shell:

    copy /b "C:\temp\merge tdms\test 0.tdms" + "C:\temp\merge tdms\test 1.tdms" + "C:\temp\merge tdms\test 2.tdms" /b "C:\temp\trash\blah.tdms"
    

    It is safe to concatenate the files TDMS_INDEX, also a long time that you concatenate them in the same order. It is also safe (and more practical) to remove them. Tiara will be re - generate.

    If you plan to use wildcards so for example to merge all files in a folder, you may need to find a way to make sure that they get concatenated in chronological order. Windows do not by default.

  • How to import a single channel of different TDMS files?

    Hello

    I have several tdms files which have the same structure of channel (ch1 - chx). Each channel by tdms file has a stored value.

    I would like to see the same channel, lets say ch1, of EVERY file of PDM, in order to have a responsible for all the tdms files 2D field

    the data portal.

    If I drag a channel from a PDM file, loaded on the data portal, I see a value of course. I would like to drag lets say five

    channels at once to get a 2D-plot in the display section.

    Is there an easy way to solve the problem?

    Thank you in advcance

    Hi Norick_17,

    I think you could do that with advanced search in the browser of DIAdem.

    Configure advanced as the attached picture. You can configure the search, so that you find ch1 on all files. Also, the select the minimum/maximum/average as additional search criteria.

    In the list of results, you will see a Channel.Maximum column. You can select this column and drag & drop it into your data portal. Each maximum value will be concatenated to a string.

    Best regards, Stephan

  • How do I encrypt a data file so that only I can retrieve the Info?

    How do I encrypt a data file so that it cannot be read without permission?

    I have a request where the client shouldn't have access to the data that I need to save for troubleshooting purposes.  (there are trade secrets, I want to protect)  My plan is to save a datalog (currently I produce a Spreadsheet tabs-delimited format) whenever the device is running and hide the files where they will not likely be found.  But some sort of encryption or everything at least password protection would be better.

    I never tried to do this before, but thought it would be pretty easy.  Maybe I'm looking all just not in the right places.

    Thank you

    Well, you could look in something like DES, Triple, ESA, etc.  It has libries lying since these writings in LabVIEW.  I'm not sure about the cost.

    If you want a very simple way to protect your data, just reverse all or part of the bits in each byte of the file.  It's super simple and turns a nice ASCII text file noise when read from a text file.
