Object information
Owning palette(s)	TDM Streaming palette
Type	Palette
Requires	Basic Development Environment

Use the Advanced TDMS VIs and functions to perform advanced file I/O operations, such as asynchronous reads and writes, on .tdms files. You can use these VIs and functions to read data from an existing .tdms file, write data to a new .tdms file, or replace subsets of data in an existing .tdms file. You also can use these VIs and functions to convert the file format version of a .tdms file or to create scaling information for unscaled data.

Note: Use the standard TDMS VIs and functions when the features of the Advanced TDMS VIs and functions are not necessary. Incorrect use of the Advanced TDMS VIs and functions might result in a corrupt .tdms file. If you disable buffering when using the Advanced TDMS VIs and functions, the data size you read or write must be a multiple of the sector size of the hard disk.
