TDMS Flush Function

Owning Palette: TDM Streaming VIs and Functions

Requires: Base Development System

Writes all buffers of the .tdms file data to the file identified by the tdms file input.

Data written to a .tdms file often resides in a buffer until the buffer fills up or until you close the file. This function forces the operating system to write any buffer data to the .tdms file.

Note  Flushing data too frequently might negatively impact the writing performance of your application.
