National Instruments DIAdem 2012 data analysis software

National Instruments has announced DIAdem 2012, the latest version of the software tool specifically designed to help engineers and scientists interpret and share data. Analysing and reporting time-based measurement data presents unique challenges that DIAdem is claimed to overcome with an off-the-shelf solution. DIAdem is optimised to operate on large data sets, includes engineering-specific analysis functions, features a powerful drag-and-drop report editor and runs scripts for automating repetitive tasks.

DIAdem 2012 features an object-oriented VBScript API for reporting, significantly reducing programming time and effort. Performance has been improved for reporting, especially for multi-page reports, and new analysis functions. NI have also added the ability to check for updates to DataPlugins within DIAdem, and updated DAC dialog boxes make configuration of data-logging applications easier.

Support has also been added for LIN and FlexRay databases, as well as scalable background images for 2D charts.
