TDMS files to XLSX within a cRIO program

[Kool.Kid.Sam]

the program i use at work produces 30-40 tdms files per operation of the machine. is there a way to automatically convert the TDMS file to a xlsx format, to save me having to do it manually, i have been trying but haven't found a way to do it yet

Maybe it would help to convert all your TDMS files into just one TDMS file…

Then you only need to convert one TDMS to XLSX.

Why do you need XLSX?

Do your TDMS files fit into the limitations of a XLSX file?

TDMS to XLSX Conversion

However, TDM Excel Add-In for Microsoft Excel is not supported on Linux so you still have to transfer the files to the host PC for conversion. You might be able to do file transfer programmatically via FTP or WebDAV.

Yes I'd also suggest just logging to TDMS on the controller, then have a host application that pulls in the files and converts them.  There are ways to make XLSX files on the controller directly but it is a bit of a pain and uses a 3rd party tool XLR8 which I haven't seen get new updates in a while.
