Did you know that TDMS files are awesome? The Technical Data Management Streaming format combines the ability to stream data to disk in a very efficient manner and a hierarchical structure to assign names and properties to your channels.
While the standard palette is a great way to get started and is suitable for many applications, in this talk we’ll dig into the Advanced API and perform a lower-level manipulation of the files’ content. We’ll see how we can easily find ourselves pulling our hair out if we’re not being careful enough.
After an overview of TDMS files’ benefits and internal structure, we’ll create a black-box recorder able to log data over a long period of time without interruption. Then we’ll find out how to decimate a large set of data spanning across multiple files to fill a waveform graph.
