What is a .TDMS file?
TDMS stores measurement data from National Instruments LabVIEW.
- Did you know
- TDMS is built to log fast streams of sensor data with their metadata.
- TDMS stands for Technical Data Management Streaming and organises data into a file, group and channel hierarchy.
- It often sits beside a binary .tdms_index companion file that speeds up reading the data.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify and read more scientific, medical and engineering files: R serialized data (RDS/RData), ABIF sequencing traces, VASP/Gaussian/XCrySDen DFT structures, ChemDraw (CDX/CDXML), Axon ABF and NI TDMS instrument data, BrainVision/Neuroscan/EEGLAB EEG, Gmsh/Abaqus/Nastran/ANSYS FEA decks, SPICE netlists, VTK structured/rectilinear grids and oscilloscope waveforms.
- Depth of analysis
- .TDMS is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .TDMS file
- Drag a .TDMS file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
