TDMS to Excel

[M.ishtiaque]

Hello,

I was having difficulty opening up TDMS file with excel. For smaller TDMS files, it was fast, but for larger files, it is taking a very long time. I think the main reason is that Excel creates a sheet for every data point; that is, every data point is in one sheet, and it creates multiple sheets based on the data points I got. 

Is there any way to open up tdms file so that all the data will be stored in one sheet? 

I am attaching here my block diagram (Beginner level)

Thanks in advance.

The Excel TDMS addon will convert the whole file all at once. If you only want to read a subsection of the file you can use the TDMS API for performing the open and read.  There is a TDMS Viewer on the LabVIEW palette under File IO >> TDM. You can also view it with Scout. It is a really good tool for viewing TDMS files.  But if you want to avoid all of this you can try logging directly to XLSX files.  One of your screenshots shows the express VI configuration and you can choose that file type.
