How to get detailed header/comment information when reading a .wav file

[PA_UW]

Hi there,

I am looking for a way to get the .wav header/comment detailed information when reading in a .wav file.  I need details like initial time of measurement and scale information that is found in the comment.  I am currently using the open/read .wav vis in labview and I need more than sampling frequency, and bits/sample. 

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thank-you.

Hi pa,

why do you use WAV files to save measurement data?

Why not use TDMS functions, which support saving metadata???

The external device I am using only exports in .wav format.

This is what you have to work with.  I suppose you'll have to consult your equipment manual to see what maps where.

Thank-you,  I guess each .wav has its own variable structure within that framework.  I will see what I can come up with.
