What is a TDMS File Type?

The National Instruments TDMS format was developed to facilitate the storage by scientists and engineers of large amounts of data recorded during tests and simulations. The TDMS is supported by a variety of National Instruments programs, including LabVIEW and DIAdem. MathWorks MATLAB and OpenOffice Calc also support it.

INDEX files are created automatically with SGTD files. The files are indexes; information on the related DIMS file referenced by the file; application opening the DIMS file. This allows faster access to SGTD files that store large datasets.
