Read all channel properties in a TDMS file?

[george seifert]

Does anyone know if there's a way to read all the properties within a channel in a TDMS file? I know how to read one property at a time using the TDMS Get Properties VI, but you have to know the property name ahead of time. Even if there was a way to list all the property names within a channel that would help, but the TDMS List Contents VI only lets you supply a Group name.

The TDM Get Properties VI context help states

"The function returns the group and/or channel properties if you wire the group name or channel name inputs with values. If those inputs contain no values, the function returns the property values for the specified .tdms file"

So just give the channel name and leave the property name terminal unwired it should give you an array of the property names

Perfect. I never would have thought to try that.
