kandi X-RAY | tdms Summary
TDMS is a binary file format for measurement data. It was created by National Instruments. National Instruments software such as LabVIEW, DIAdem, and Measurement Studio support reading and writing TDMS files. NI also provides a DLL written in C for using TDMS files on Windows. TDMS for Ruby was written to provide a convenient way to work with TDMS files on Unix-like platforms.

I have a TDMS file with a bunch of DateTime values with relevant instrumentation data.
The issue I am having is:
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-22 at 12:23So I ended up contacting the author and he was helpful enough to send a response:
TDMS files internally store times in UTC. You don't say how you're getting the values in the "TDMS file" column but I assume this is from a program that converts times into your local timezone to display them. There is an example of how to convert UTC times from a TDMS file into your local timezone in the documentation.
If you are storing these times in a database though, I would strongly recommend you store times in UTC rather than your local timezone as local times can be ambiguous due to daylight savings changes, and UTC is easily understood from anywhere in the world without having to know the local timezone where the data originated.
If you still feel like making the change from UTC to EST then this should do it:
QUESTION
I have many binary files (.tdms format, similar to .wav) stored in S3 and I would like to read them with nptdms
then process them in a distributed fashion with Dask on a cluster.
In PySpark there is pyspark.SparkContext.binaryFiles()
which produces an RDD with a bytearray for each input file which is a simple solution to this problem.
I have not found an equivalent function in Dask - is there one? If not, how could the equivalent functionality be achieved in Dask?
I noticed there's dask.bytes.read_bytes()
if it's necessary to involve this however nptdms
can't read a chunk of a file - it needs the entire file to be available and I'm not sure how to accomplish that.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-06 at 14:05dask.bytes.read_bytes()
will give you whole files if you use blocksize=None
, i.e., exactly one block per file. The most common use case for that is compressed files (e.g., gzip) where you can't start mid-stream, but should work for your use case too. Note that the delayed objects you get each return bytes, not open files.
Alternatively, you can use fsspec.open_files
. This returns OpenFile
objects, which are safe to serialise and so you can use them in dask.delayed
calls such as
QUESTION
I want to implement my own HDMI-Passthrough on Nexys-Video Board equipped with Artix-7 FPGA and HDMI sink/source ports. My setup is: A PC HDMI port is connected to the sink port while an LED monitor is connected to the source HDMI port.
Since there is no TDMS encoder/decoder on the board, I will also need to implement them next (I don't want to just grab one of the closed source implementations readily available on the internet). But for now, I just need to connect sink/source ports over the FPGA so I can get the video shown on the monitor. However, I could not succeed yet. No picture is shown and the monitor says 'No Signal'. I am a little bit worried about mis-using FGPA ports which could result in permanent damage to the board. Therefore, I did not try everything came to my mind. I am expecting advices to correct/complete my code.
I connected HDMI signals as in the following code and schematic:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-16 at 09:15I got it working finally. Now my Nexys Video card passes through a Full HD video. Here are the details:
- Both HPA and TXEN pins must be set to '1'. In my case I assigned HPD pin of the source port to the HPA pin of the sink port. Checking the board schematic, the HPD pin is tied to an open drain MOSFET, so it must be inverted before the assignment.
assign HDMIR_HPA = ~HDMIT_HPD;
- Additionally, after a thorough googling, I found that bridging DDC SCL and SDA pins of sink port to source port seems to be impossible as two bidirectional pins cannot be (simply) wired on FPGAs. So the solution to the problem is adding an EDID ROM emulator to the sink side. Then the FPGA itself behaves as a monitor to the video source device (i.e. the PC in my setup).
I found a VHDL implementation of EDID ROM from here. It emulates a 1024 x 768 monitor, however I changed it to 1920 x 1080.
This is the revised code for the top module:
QUESTION
I have been using the nptdms
module to do analysis of TDMS files without issue for several years. Recently, I got an error when trying to read a TDMS file for the first time. I import TdmsFile
from nptdms
:
from nptdms import TdmsFile
I try to read it:
tdms_file = TdmsFile.read(path_to_my_tdms_file)
and then get the following error:
type object 'TdmsFile' has no attribute 'read'
I am using python v3.6.10, with Anaconda and the nptdms v0.12.0.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Sep-29 at 17:02The method you are referring to exists in the current documentation so it would make sense to
- Restart the virtual environment (close cmd line; start again;
conda activate
).
If this does not help...
Reinstall the package:
conda remove nptdms
conda install nptdms
(the exact commands may differ depending on your environment).
If this does not help, create a fresh conda environment and install from scratch and check again.
QUESTION
I have a folder which contains XLSX file (TDMS file converted to XLSX). I want to replace comma by dot in column A. The data in column A have the following format : 2020/06/12 16:07:12,465 I want the format to change to be like this : 2020/06/12 16:07:12.465 In order to plot the data stored in these files using software like DatPlot or KstPlot to process data faster than Excel could do.
I used the record macro to get a working macro that does the job when I call it with a button located directly on the same sheet that I want to modify.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-08 at 12:19When you write Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(myfile)
, myfile becomes the active workbook. The active worksheet will be whichever worksheet was active when the workbook was last saved.
You next write Columns("A").Replace ...
. This statement operates on the active worksheet. If the wrong worksheet is active, this statement will not have the effect you seek.
If my guess about the cause of your problem is correct, try Worksheets("xxx").Columns("A").Replace ...
where "xxx" is the name of the worksheet containing the column you wish to change.
Edit 1
I find it difficult to understand what is going wrong. You say the name of the worksheet is “Values” but when you try to access that worksheet you are told it does not exist. I will try to explain Workbooks
, Worksheets
and related terms.
Suppose you open workbooks “A.xlsx”, “B.xlsx” and “C.xlsm”. It is possible to open “A.xlsx”, “B.xlsx” and “C.xlsm” each in their own copy (instance) of Excel.exe, but this is not easy. Normally, there will be one instance of Excel.exe “containing” three open workbooks. Workbooks
is a collection or list of the open workbooks within an instance of Excel.. A macro within “C.xlsm” could contain:

Install tdms
On a UNIX-like operating system, using your system’s package manager is easiest. However, the packaged Ruby version may not be the newest one. There is also an installer for Windows. Managers help you to switch between multiple Ruby versions on your system. Installers can be used to install a specific or multiple Ruby versions. Please refer ruby-lang.org for more information.
