[Kst] [Bug 288472] Date/Time support for ASCII files generated by National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress

[Ben Lewis]

It seems that TDMS files are not well supported on Linux and Mac, see 
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/TDMS-on-Mac/td-p/547927.  Is it an option to only include support 
for TDMS files under Windows?  In this case the TDMS C dll would only be distributed with the 
windows version of kst.

It makes a lot of sense for kst to support one or the other (ASCII exports from NI or TDMS). I 
personally would get much more benefit from TDMS support.  I also think that TDMS support would 
attract a lot of interest from other NI users.

On the issue of the licence agreement I could start a discussion on the NI forum to clarify the issue.
