Import a LabView TDMS file (version 1.1 or 1.2) as a structure in the MATLAB workspace with the option to save the data in a MAT file. It was written in MATLAB 2010b. The original function was based on the work by Brad Humphreys of ZIN Technologies and Grant Lohsen & Jeff Sitterle of GTRI (versions 1 through 4 of this function). The Version 9 function (written by Philip Top), in addition to incorporating the various updates that were added to previous versions, can process files that have been "optimized" by LabView. This function has been tested with a limited number of diverse TDMS files.
