TDMS file will not properly import into Matlab

[Michael]

I am trying to load the contents of TDMS files into MATLAB for post-processing. I am not too picky on what approach I use to accomplish this, but I want it to be relatively streamlined for batch processing and I want it to work (that's the key)!. I have tried the NI supplied DLL with .m example files (see "Reading TDM/TDMS Files with The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® Software", http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5957). I can get it to work just fine with the supplied TDM file, but it does not correctly process my own TDMS file. I have also tried to process the binary TDMS file using an M-script from MATLAB Central (see "ConvertTDMS", http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28771). This file was written to process TDMS files based on the file format description from NI (see "TDMS File Format Internal Structure", http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5696). The M-script is my
preferred solution since it doesn't require a bunch of other files like the DLL approach does, but I am willing to take the approach that works best.

All I want to do is be able to read all the properties (names and values) and each group of channels (names and values) from a TDMS file into MATLAB. Is that too much to ask? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have also posted this question on the NI forums where there is a link to a zip file that contains a more detailed problem description (with screenshots), the modified versions of the scripts I used, and an example TDMS file that doesn't get processed correctly. See the page http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/TDMS-file-will-not-properly-import-into-Matlab/td-p/1305678 or the zip file directly at http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/170/537446/1/TDMSproblems.zip.

Thanks,
