opening large tdms files in Excel takes forever, can do something?

After that recording hardware daq channels for 4 hours my file is large 120Mo, with all 20columns data and 150 k lines. This opening in excel takes at least 5 minutes, several answer screen fades and fear that all my data is impossible to do more.

What can I do about it? Is there a PDM split file option that I can use or a way to speed up excel perhaps?

The entrance to the defragmentation is the path to the file.  Thus, this operation takes place after the file was closed.

EDIT: Now I hope that the defragmentation does not take 5 minutes.

  • Opening of TDMS files larger than 500 MB in LabVIEW

    Hello

    We were faced with a problem when opening files TDMS connected using a LabVIEW, PDM Viewer (the vi in palette Advanced TDMS) application, or by creating a new PDM vi player. The recorder app is built using TDMS functions in palette file.

    When the TDMS files are everywhere higher than 500 MB or the application hangs or crashes. It can sometimes give full error memory.

    I browsed the forum and found the screws to split large TDMS files into smaller files and then open them. The other option is to use NI DIAdem. Currently, we use the option of the tiara. We do not want to modify the application to split the files into smaller sizes.

    I'd like to understand why this is happening for files of these formats. I can easily play TDMS of 100 or 200 MB files.

    The configuration of the system plays a role in the present? How is it that DIAdem can open the file and cannot LabVIEW?

    What I want is to know if upgrade to Win 7 and LV 64-bit will solve this problem, without cut it files each time, or use the TDMS vi Viewer.

    More likely since the channel data is placed in a very wide range and fragmentation of memory makes it very hard on 32 bit with LV 32-bit OS. Another thing that could be a problem on your 32 bit LV: display data as it creates a copy of data. So maybe the original data of the channel can hold in memory, but tries to display it sweeps away memory.

    Another thing for 32-bit applications is to check the largest block of data you always free. Use tools like VMMap for your request of fragmentation of memory snapshot.

    As I wrote already, a generic application 64 bit triggers the limited "insane" values depending on the operating system like Windows 7... still, there are limits.

    EDIT: The link of Windows 7 go to the physical memory table on the whole system. This does not reflect the virtual memory available to a single process. Scroll down to the table "and address space limits of memory" a virtual memory figure that can be assigned to a process 64-bit on Win7 x 64. The value is 8 to...

  • Cannot open the PDM file with excel 2016

    Hey guys,.

    I have Office 2016, LV 2015 and (I checked my "TDM Excel Add-in" file) the Excel Add-in 2015 of CT.

    I have attached a picture of what I get when I try to open the PDM file with excel.

    So, I found something strange. I checked active supplements under the excel options and the TDM Excel Add-in is listed as inactive (and is called a COM-add-in). I tried to activate it, by checking the box (see the second picture), but that does not change. Interesting is the last line of my second attached photo:

    Translated it means: ' loading behavior: a runtime error occurred when trying to load this Add-In.

    I have 10-64 bit operating system like windows.

    Someone at - it a solution?

  • Must be able to open the .csv file in Excel separated by two, and; -Windows 7 list separator

    Hi, I was wondering is it possible to add 2 values to list separator?  I need to be able to open the .csv file in Excel separated by two, and;  At the moment I can only do that if I continue to change the list separator value in the regional settings of Windows Alternatively, depending on which file I want to open.  Is it possible to add both?  I tried to add, and; separated by spaces, but it did not work.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    It may be one, sorry.  But you can use an Excel template or Excel macro to analyze and open any kind of delimited file of reproducibly (even give you one-click button on the toolbar in Excel to do if you wish), and this is probably the best option.

  • 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.

  • Divide a large TDMS file into smaller pieces

    Hello

    I'm dealing with a large dataset (5.6 GB) TDMS and wish to perform analyses on this subject in MATLAB. Of course, dealing with this large dataset at once would be impossible in MATLAB, so I need to divide it into smaller pieces.

    I started playing with Diadem to achieve this. I would like to create an automated script that I may need to do this several times in the future. I'm new to VBS but have managed to extract a small amount of data from the data portal and store it in a table. I was wondering how I can then write this data in a file separate from PDM. My amateur code is attached!

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    The best way to do is to apply the filter lines you want during the import process, so that you get only the elements of the array that you are interested in as new channels in the data portal - you can do it with the DataFileLoadRed() command.  Then, you can simply save the subset values you wanted (all the content of each channel) to the new export file, which could be a much smaller file of PDM or even a *.mat file if you downloaded and installed the MATLAB use we post free at www.ni.com/dataplugins.

  • Can open Firefox XPCOM file is missing. He can either uninstall and cannot download the new exe. What can I do?

    Equipped with Windows Vista. Stop down my PC two day and when I booted up it would not start. Click on the button of power again and it started in safe mode and asked me to run a repair program that I made. After that Firefox does not open and I get the message "XPCOM is missing." everything else works. Tried to uninstall Firefox and cannot do it either. the uninstaller from Control Panel does not work and I found the Mozilla Firefox uninstall Help files and which will not be executed. I get the windows on the screen asking me to continue, or cancel and when I hit continue the dialog box just disappears and nothing happens. Can not download Firefox exe file again. I am running Trend Micro security PC.

    You need to reinstall, you don't, because none of your bookmarks, history etc. WILL NOT BE LOST.
    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.
  • iCal open the alert file does not

    I have installed 10.11.3. iCal Prefs are set correctly according to the suggestions of Apple.

    However, if I set an alert to open the file in the section 'Custiom', the alert does not open the file or reacts in any way in time. What's most frustrating is when I open the same file again to check if I did something wrong, the field 'alert' is 'None' showing!

    What I want to buy Fantastical2 app (tested, it turns very well), although iCal played perfectly for years on different platforms of OS X, I used?

    Hello there, Bob.

    It seems that you encounter no success with the calendar to inform you with alerts personalized on your MacBook Pro. One thing to try is to test the behavior in a new user. This testing process is described in the following Knowledge Base article:

    How to test a question in another account on your Mac.

    Before you try a different user account

    If you see unexpected behavior on your Mac to first try the following steps:

    Try to search the base knowledge of Apple for the specific symptom or an alert message you see. There could be more simple measures that you can take to solve the problem.

    Try to boot your Mac in Mode safe. Restart your computer. Hold the SHIFT key when you hear the startup sound. Release the SHIFT key when you see the Apple logo appears. Your Mac starts up in Safe Mode. Safe mode performs a check of your startup disk directory and removes data from the cache. Once your finished Mac commissioning, restart the Mac normally (without hold the SHIFT key) and see if the problem is resolved.

    Make sure your software is up-to-date. The question that you see can be addressed by installing the available updates.

    Check to see where the problem occurs. If a problem arises until you see your desktop, it is less likely that it is related to a setting or a user account. If a problem occurs with a Web site, see if the pages of other websites correctly first load. There could be a problem with the site and not your Mac.

    How to test with another user account

    You can find out if unexpected behavior is related to the user file or a parameter in trying to reproduce the problem to a different user account. This process includes creating a new user account, connect to it and test for the issue.

    Create a test user account

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. Click the users and groups in the System Preferences window.
    3. Click the lock icon and enter an administrator name and password.
    4. Click on the button Add (+) below the list of users.
    5. Choose a type of user in the new pop-up menu.
    6. Give the user a name and first name, account name, and password.
    7. Click OK.
    8. Close the System Preferences window.

    If there are documents from your user account that you want to test with original, place a copy of these items in the shared folder in the users folder. Press the Option key while dragging a file in this folder to create a copy.

    Connect to the test user account

    Log out of your current user account by choosing logout in the Apple menu, and then open a session the new account that you created. If you are prompted to login with your iCloud or Apple ID account when you log in, skip this step.

    Try to reproduce the problem

    Try the same steps that caused the unexpected behavior to appear. For example, if you are unable to print, try printing from this user account. If you were unable to connect to the Internet, try to navigate on a website of this user account.

    If you use specific test settings depends on (for example using a specific e-mail account or an account iCloud) implemented the same test user account. For email and other parameters, you can use the Internet accounts pane in system preferences to set up these types of accounts. If your home folder files are necessary for tests, copy them into the shared folder in the users folder (/ Users/Shared). After you connect as a user test, copy these items to the same location in the test user home folder to test with.

    If a problem occurs in account only one user

    Is using the same steps in a user account test does not cause the same unexpected behavior, most likely you don't need to reinstall applications or OS X.

    • If a problem occurs only in a single application, check the documentation or Web site for instructions on troubleshooting specific preferences or the definition of the application files.
    • If you need help with a problem or a specific alert message, search the Apple support Web site for the text of the alert message you see.

    If a problem occurs in more than one user account

    If the same unexpected behavior occurs in more than one user account on your Mac, try checking for software or hardware problems.

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

    Kind regards.

  • Viewer files TDMS file not found

    The VI I use currently is a slight modification of the example ContAcq & GraphVolt.  I've recently updated to LabVIEW 2009, and my Viewer TDMS open more TDMS files I record.  The files are there and I can open them using the example of ReadTDMS VI, but the viewer in my block diagram gives me 7 error: file not found.  There is a caveat, however.  If I save on a file that I had previously created, the file is located in the Viewer.  So if I save the file test1.tdms, the first time, it displays an error found the file, but the second time I save the viewer test1.tdms the file is located.  Any ideas as to why this is happening?

    Since my VI is close enough to the ContAcq & GraphVolt example (which does not work at the moment), this VI troubleshooting to solve my problem.


  • InDesign book, synchronization, opening a single file

    Re: IDCC

    Question 1

    One of the .indb files I created has about 20 + individual .indd files. Whenever I have an amendment to a single .indd and then save it, .indb automatically starts a synchronization process and I can't do anything until it is complete.

    I like to leave the file open book when I'm working, but this automatic synchronization impeded my work process.

    Is it possible for me to stop the automatic synchronizaton?

    I looked at different areas of the program, and if the option is present, have neglected and I also looked in the help, and if it's there, I missed it there, too.

    Question 2

    Quite often, when I try to open a single document in a book, ALL the individual documents of open book.

    What steps should I take to make sure I have as a single document in a book and not accidentally open each of them?

    Thank you

    1,

    In the Panel menu book (upper-right of the Panel book) you can choose 'Book Page Numbering Options... '. »

    And disable automatic updates.

    2.

    Make sure that you have only one selected file. Sometimes if you have several files selected and open a file from the book panel will open all selected files.

    Take your time in selecting the document in the Panel - and carefully double-tap.
