NI DIAdem 9.0 Streamlines Test Data Analysis and Report Generation

„Intuitive Software Significantly Reduces Reporting Times With Integrated Tools for Test Data
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nJan. 14, 2004–National Instruments (Nasdaq:NATI – News) today announced DIAdem 9.0, the newest version of its interactive software for managing, inspecting, analyzing and reporting test data. DIAdem provides a unified environment for transforming test data into the information needed to drive engineering decisions. DIAdem imports data from industry-standard databases and file formats such as ASCII, binary and Excel, and can handle datasets with more than 1 billion data points.“;“\“DIAdem 9.0 has helped us reduce our overall analysis and reporting times by as much as 90 percent and we are excited about its ease of use, versatility and extensibility,\“ said Damon Chandler, Knowledge Flow Architect with Cummins Engine, an international corporation that designs, manufactures, distributes and services engines and related technologies. \“Our DIAdem power user group is continually finding new and exciting ways of applying DIAdem in unexpected areas.\“
\r\n
\r\nUsing the unique combination of data management, visualization, analysis and reporting features in DIAdem 9.0, engineers have the tools they need to extract and analyze their test data quickly and efficiently. The time saved using the integrated tools in DIAdem directly translates into increased productivity and efficient use of resources invested in test data.
\r\n
\r\nNew drag-and-drop handling features make accessing test data from a wide range of file and database formats easier than ever, and engineers can quickly locate a specific data set out of thousands by using sophisticated filtering and intuitive navigation features. DIAdem includes a built-in Visual Basic Script host that engineers can use to automate their repetitive reporting and analysis tasks, saving them valuable time. Engineers also can perform the required analysis by extracting the relevant information from the test data and then generating a Web-ready report, all from within the DIAdem environment.
\r\n
\r\nThis combination of overall functionality delivers ease of use and straightforward integration with existing landscapes such as NI LabVIEW, The MathWorks Inc. MATLAB® and Wolfram Research Inc. Mathematica. DIAdem is ideal for a wide range of industries that involve saving test data to a file or database, including automotive, aerospace and consumer goods.
