National Instruments Delivers Advanced Data Management Capabilities With New Version of DIAdem

National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced NI DIAdem 11.1, a new version of the interactive software for managing, analyzing, visualizing and reporting test data that includes new features and filtering capabilities for advanced development and automated analysis. DIAdem is designed to help engineers make informed decisions and meet the demands of today’s testing environments, which require quick access to large volumes of scattered data, consistent reporting and data visualization. With DIAdem, engineers easily can manage, mine, analyze and report on data collected during data acquisition or generated during simulations and provide consistent reporting and data visualization for applications in industries such as research, automotive and structural test.

For advanced data analysis, DIAdem 11.1 adds the new Calculation Manager and filtering capabilities, which are useful for large group development and automated analysis. For applications with a high-channel count such as in the automotive industry, engineers now can filter within the data portal in DIAdem to easily find and access the different channels in memory. With the new Calculation Manager, engineers can create custom algorithms and share them within their departments and groups to increase productivity and reduce errors.

For advanced data management, engineers can use DIAdem to mine, inspect and analyze measurement data to correlate tests and uncover results in the data. DIAdem 11.1 features a new tool for converting CAN log files into the technical data management (TDM) data format for compatibility across applications. Also, engineers now can customize completely the interface for DIAdem to match their applications and take advantage of new 3-D contouring to better display data.

In addition, NI DataFinder Server Edition 2.1, a software solution that works with DIAdem, provides support for user-security management and integration with an electronic archiving system. NI DataFinder is a valuable tool that extends test data management to large groups or departments, which helps reduce errors and increase productivity across teams. With performance enhancements in the new version of NI DataFinder Server Edition, engineers can index and query their test data up to 20 times faster than in previous versions.
