Hello,
I have a bunch of .tdms files from overseas that i cannot open tdms file viewer or any vi's.
1. When i try to open with tdms file viewer, the group name seems to be cracked and i cannot view any data.
FYI,
- the language for this installation is set to Korean.
- The tdms saving program was written on a PC that has Korean language Windows 7 and Korean Labview (2010 SP1) installed,
- The actual saving of the tdms was done on a PC with english Windows 7, and the tdms saving program was installed (w/ labview runtime eng, no labview installation)
2. When i try to open with Read from measurement file Express VI, i get the error 2507
3. I am attaching one of the tdms files.
Is the data corrupted? If so is there a way to recover it?
This data is very important and is not easy to capture again. Would appreciate the help

I am able to open the file on LV2010, Windows XP, English. No error code. You uploaded the .tdms file, but not the index file. Sometimes error 2057 is caused by a corrupted index file. Try deleting the index file and then try reopening the file.

Root cause:
Your tdms saving program hardcoded Korean channel names but run on English Windows 7, and LabVIEW wrote a tdms file with your hardcoded Korean channel names as English.
Solutions:
Hardcode channel names as English if your tdms saving program needs to run on English Windows.
Your attached data is not corrupted. You could open it on a English Windows 7 with LabVIEW installed, or change your Korean Windows 7 to use English system locale (see attached screenshot).
