Overview

DIAdem is the National Instruments software for analyzing and documenting data from various sources.

System Requirements

For correct DIAdem performance, the following minimum requirements must be met:

Hardware

CPU	x64 compatible processor, 1.6 GHz or more
Amount of memory	2 GB or more
Hard disk memory	Depending on the operating system, up to 3 GB free storage space, of which at least 2 GB are on the system partition
Video card	Color depth at least 16-bit (High Color), 24-bit, or 32-bit (True Color) recommended
Screen resolution	From 1024x768 with a 100% scaling step

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows 10 64-bit1
• Windows 8.1 Update 1 64-bit1
• Windows 7 64-bit with Service Pack 12
• Windows Server 2016
• Windows Server 2012 R2 Update1
• Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 12
  
  

file:///C:/Users/VISION~1/AppData/Local/Temp/7zO8667EB64/note.gif

Note  National Instruments recommends the use of the NI Analysis Server for the automatic evaluation on server operating systems instead of DIAdem.

1 NI software installs VC2015 runtime and .NET 4.6.2. Windows 8.1 requires Microsoft updates to support these software products. Refer to Microsoft KB2919442 and KB2919355 for more information about how to install these updates.

2 NI software is signed with an SHA-256 certificate. Under Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1 Microsoft updates are required for the support of SHA-256. Refer to Microsoft KB3033929 for more information about how to install this security update.

file:///C:/Users/VISION~1/AppData/Local/Temp/7zO8667EB64/note.gif

Note  DIAdem runs only with restrictions on the N or KN edition of Windows because the multimedia support is missing. You can obtain this as "Media Feature Pack" from Microsoft and install it later. Under Windows Server 2012 R2 you cannot play videos in DIAdem VIEW.

Administration

Firewall

The firewall displays warnings while DIAdem installs and while DIAdem launches, for the following reasons: The usireg component executes during the installation of DataPlugins. The DataFinder, which you use for searching and navigating in files, then starts. When DIAdem launches, a DNS query determines whether to license locally or whether to use a license server. If you want to be able to use all the DIAdem functions, National Instruments recommends that you select "Do not block" for all programs listed. This also applies when you want to evaluate DIAdem. Refer to ni.com/info under the info code winxpsp2 for more information.

Windows User Permissions

DIAdem and its components are basically executable under the pre-configured Microsoft Windows user accounts from User upwards. DIAdem must be installed with complete administrator permissions. If you operate various DIAdem versions on one computer, you only have the entire range of functions in each version if you have administrator permissions.

Miscellaneous

• Internet Explorer: For the map display in DIAdem VIEW and DIAdem DAC, you need Internet Explorer version 11 or later.
• Recommended:
  - Adobe Reader to display manual files
  
  

Notes on DIAdem 2018

• As of Version 2018, DIAdem offers a much higher resolution for time channels. By default this higher resolution is disabled but can be enabled in the DIAdem settings. The higher resolution has the following effects:
  - If you change the time resolution or the time format string, you must save the desktop file and restart DIAdem. Otherwise, there may be problems with the display or processing of time values.
  - DIAdem uses a different time base for the higher time resolution. The time base for version 2018 is 01/01/2018 00:00:00. The time base is adapted to each version. In version 2019, for example, the time base will be 01/01/2019 00:00:00.
  - When converting vbTime time value types into other DIAdem time formats, DIAdem always uses the date of the current time base to determine a date/time value.
  - When high time resolution is enabled, the vbDate resolution is not sufficient to process resolutions smaller than 1 ms. For processing high resolution time values, use the dValues or oValue properties instead.
  - When high time resolution is enabled, DIAdem expands implicit time channels when saving the data as a TDM file.
  - When high time resolution is enabled, the stored TDM files are larger than when high time resolution is not enabled.
  - When high time resolution is activated, DIAdem does not register time channels, but loads the mass data immediately.
  - DIAdem currently supports high time resolution only for time channels from TDM or TDMS files or for newly created time channels.
• As of DIAdem 2018, you can no longer connect to My DataFinder from a remote computer.
• If you switch off Data Portal refresh during debugging using the UIAutoRefreshSet command, errors can occur because the Data Portal does not always display the actual data.
• DIAdem Version 9.0 and LabVIEW Version 7.1, and later versions, use a shared software component that is updated when you install DIAdem. When you uninstall DIAdem, the current version of the shared component remains. This is intentional and has been tested extensively.
  The installation functions were tested parallel to earlier DIAdem versions down to DIAdem 2014.
• For the MyDataFinder in DIAdem 2018, any index files from earlier DIAdem versions must be regenerated. This occurs automatically when you launch DIAdem. Depending on how many files are to be indexed, this may take quite some time.
• It is strongly recommended that you install in the suggested folders, or that you specify the folder exclusively in the path selection dialog box in the setup program. In particular, changing the suggested program path manually in the installation program can cause problems in DIAdem.
• Scripts written for application in the Analysis Server are subject to certain restrictions. For more information, refer to the help chapter Analysis Server: General.
• Under Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, there are issues displaying character strings when printing or exporting to PDF and XPS documents if you control the system via remote desktop. DIAdem prints character strings without or with too little character spacing. This is a Microsoft issue described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768741. There Microsoft offers a solution in form of a hotfix. In case you cannot install this hotfix, you can also work around this issue using the setting Output print data as graphic under Settings»DIAdem Settings»REPORT.
• If you change the size of the text displayed on the screen (DPI scale), for example, from 100% to 150%, under Windows 8.1 (minimum) and you do not restart the computer, display errors might occur in the curve selection in DIAdem REPORT and DIAdem VIEW.
• When you activate DIAdem, you must create a National Instruments user profile at ni.com. The evaluation period is now 7 days without a user profile. If you create a user profile, this period is extended to 45 days.
• When using the OPC UA server, a missing Windows update can lead to error messages because functions or DLLs are missing. If this error occurs, check the logfile as to whether a message describes an error in the search path extension. To eliminate this error, install the Windows Update KB2533623 at https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=26767.
• When loading a DAC block diagram, DIAdem now checks whether the block diagram contains outdated blocks. The block diagram can still run with these blocks, however the outdated blocks are identified with a label. Please replace these by up-to-date blocks because in future versions the earlier blocks will no longer be supported.
• In order to use the following DIAdem drivers the following NI software components must be installed:

  Driver	Components	Version
  ADCS	Automotive Diagnostic Command Set	>= 18.0
  DAQmx driver	NI-DAQmx	>= 9.4
  ECU MC	ECU Measurement and Calibration Toolkit	>= 18.0
  XNET	NI-XNET	>= 15.0

• Very old commands and variables, which have been replaced by new technologies, are marked as obsolete in DIAdem. This means that these commands and variables are no longer supported in one of the upcoming DIAdem versions. On the DIAdem help page DIAdem»Searching for Obsolete Commands and Variables you can find a script which checks your scripts for obsolete identifiers.
• If you install an earlier DIAdem version after you have installed the current DIAdem version, the PDF export of the earlier version might not function correctly. You can solve the issue by copying the files acfpdf*.* and cdintf*.dll from the current DIAdem program folder into the program folder of the earlier DIAdem version.
• Installing DIAdem 2018 and DataFinder Server Edition 2015 or 2017 on the same computer might lead to DataFinder Server Edition 2015 or DataFinder Server Edition 2017 becoming inoperable.
• If you have a parallel installation of DIAdem 2018 and DIAdem 2017, you cannot, in DIAdem 2017, use the DataFinder hierarchy preview, which you open in DIAdem SCRIPT through “Settings”TDM Server->DataFinder Hierarchy”.
• From version 2018, DIAdem imports by default VBS DataPlugins in encrypted form. You can only import and then process a DataPlugin unencrypted if you select Import DataPlugin in the DataPlugin Settings dialog box.
• The images you use in the Picture for Tree SUD property must have a minimum size of 16*16 pixels.
• You cannot use VIs that require .NET assemblies from DIAdem through the LVRuntime object.
  
  

Compatibility of DIAdem 2018 and DIAdem 2017

• To find information on the compatibility of earlier DIAdem versions refer to ni.com/support under the search term "DIAdem Release Notes".
• The old script interface for accessing REPORT objects through GraphObjOpen and GraphObjClose will no longer be supported in DIAdem 2018. As of DIAdem 2018, you must use the object-oriented script interface in DIAdem REPORT. Due to this change, DIAdem no longer supports the CurveTransfCmd variable for the curve transformation in a 2D axis system. Use the D2CurveTransformingContext object and the OnCurveTransformation property instead.
• You can use the Add for Workers method to create a maximum of five worker objects.
• DIAdem 2018 is only available in the 64-bit version.
• As of version 2018, DIAdem only supports the methods, properties, and subobjects of the DataFinderSettings object returned with the GetSettings for DataFinder for the My DataFinder DataFinder. Use the DataFinder Configuration API to configure a DataFinder Server. Refer to Programing Reference»REST APIs in the TDM Server help for a description of the DataFinder Configuration API.
• As of version 2018, DIAdem no longer supports the DataFinder Manager object for DataFinder Server. Use the DataFinder Configuration API instead. Refer to Programing Reference»REST APIs in the TDM Server help for a description of the DataFinder Configuration API.
  

Notes on Future DIAdem Versions

• Accessing channels through channel numbers will only be supported up to and including DIAdem 2018. For many versions, the channels were most commonly referenced DIAdem with the group index or the group name combined with the channel index or the channel name.
• As of version 2019, DIAdem VIEW no longer supports the number-oriented mode.
• The control file driver will only be supported up to and including DIAdem 2018. Use the script driver together with the UDI object in future versions of DIAdem. The UDI object provides a neutral interface for the communication interfaces in the computer, for example, RS-232 and GPIB. Use the CreateUDI command to create the UDI object. Refer to the help for more information on the script driver and the UDI object.
• The channel property DisplayType will be read-only in DIAdem 2019. In DIAdem 2018 this property is also read-only if you enable the setting “High resolution for absolute time values” in the DIAdem settings. Use the commands ChnTimeToNumeric and ChnNumericToTime to convert time channels into numeric channels and vice versa.
• The Logos communication protocol (communication via UDP) used by DIAdem versions before DIAdem 2012 SP2 will no longer be supported as of version 2019. This means that earlier clients can no longer communicate with DataFinder Server 2019 or My DataFinder 2019. In future, you can only use Logos XT (communication via TCP) for communication with DataFinder. This applies to the DIAdem and LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit clients.

New Features in DIAdem 2018General

• DIAdem offers a much higher resolution for time channels.
  

• Improvement to parts of the interface through modern, flat design.
• New command for creating a MQTT object. The MQTT object provides the Message Queue Telemetry Transport Protocol in DIAdem. The MQTT protocol is an open message protocol for machine-to-machine (M2M) communication for the transmission of telemetry data between devices.
• For the display of new curves, you can choose between six predefined color schemes or define your own color scheme.
  

DIAdem NAVIGATOR, DataFinder, Data Portal

• Lossless compression of the metadata of TDM files.
• Optimization of the data type of mass data without significant errors.
• The Bus Log Converter now also supports the AUTOSAR format, Head Acoustics, and the Bus Log Raw format.
• The context menu of the Data Portal has been revised and can be adapted by the user through the script interface.
  

DIAdem VIEW

• You can switch between absolute and relative time displays.
• You can specify a channel that DIAdem uses to color the track in the map display. DIAdem divides the colors of the palette between the largest and the smallest value of the color channel.
• You can change line thickness for curves, for example, to improve the curve display on high-resolution monitors.
• You can now draw curves with edge smoothing.
• In the global DIAdem settings, you can define your own colors that DIAdem automatically uses to create new curves.
• The display of very long, monochrome tracks in the map display has been accelerated.
  

DIAdem ANALYSIS

• New smoothing function: The 4253H filter applies several smoothing in succession, resulting in a smooth signal, but with essential structures still visible.
• New geo functions
  - GPS distance from start: Calculates the shortest distance of a GPS coordinate to the following GPS coordinate, taking into account the ellipsoidal shape of the Earth. The function sums up the distance values.
  - Calculate SRTM altitude profiles: Determines the corresponding altitude values from longitude and latitude.
  - Humidity functions: Conversion of the relative humidity into absolute humidity and vice versa.
• The new ChnEvent function ChnEventInvalidValues checks whether invalid values are contained in a channel.
• An exact check of the value difference has been added to the function ChnEventDetectionDifference. To do so, the function supports three further test modes.
  

DIAdem REPORT

• In DIAdem REPORT you can switch between absolute and relative time displays.
• Revision of the PowerPoint export: Exporting to PPTX format no longer requires PowerPoint to be installed. DIAdem no longer supports export to PPT format, but only to PPTX format. You must convert existing PPT templates to PPTX format. The PowerPoint export can now attach slides to an existing PPTX file.
• Attaching PDF and PPTX files is now also possible directly from the interface.
• New display type "Spider axis systems": With the spider axis systems you can display data of the same categories in the form of a spider web or radar diagram.
• Bar displays can also be grouped.
• Bar displays can also be stacked on top of each other.
• In constants and coordinates you can specify a second coordinate and color the areas between these coordinates. You can also add a comment field to the coordinates.
• In 2D curve displays you can specify the color channel with the values DIAdem uses to display the curves in the palette colors.
• In a 3D axis system with a 3D curve display, you specify a color channel whose values DIAdem uses for displaying the curve in the palette colors.
• At various points, such as bars, filled surfaces, or 3D contour tables, you can set the transparency of the color in the dialog box.
• In a 3D axis system with a 3D curve, you can choose whether DIAdem displays the 3D curve or just a projection to the planes.
• The characteristic diagram display is much faster, especially for large arrays.
• The PDF output of large characteristic diagrams produces much smaller files.
• In the global DIAdem settings, you can define your own colors that DIAdem automatically uses to create new curves.
• The context menu of the REPORT objects has been revised and can be adapted by the user on the script interface.
• Because the zoom mode has been revised, you can position objects more precisely.
  

DIAdem DAC / DIAdem VISUAL

• You can change the configuration of the display blocks during the measurement.
• The configuration dialog boxes have been revised in order to structure the block settings clearer.
• Support of cDAQ Chassis with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN).
• The ECUMC driver now also supports data output.
• The XNET driver now supports AUTOSAR.
• You can now configure the visibility of signals in the display blocks with a checkbox in the same way as in the REPORT and VIEW panels.
  

DIAdem SCRIPT

• The tabs have been moved up from the bottom of the workspace. Each tab has its own close icon.
• The performance of the CodeCompletion function - the automatic display of a list of objects, commands, and procedures - is improved.
• You can use the TaskPanel control to define a control with expandable groups containing sub-entries in the user dialog box. You can change the content dynamically, determine the selected entry, and react to a click on this entry.
• The configuration dialog boxes of the Data Preprocessor and the Analysis Server have been revised. For example, you can edit the contents of an Analysis Server packet, such as scripts and layouts, directly in the configuration dialog box.

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer user interface and dialog boxes. However, starting with the August 2012 releases (products using NI Installers version 3.1 or later), you may need to perform additional steps before or during a silent installation of NI software.

If the NI product you are installing uses Microsoft .NET 4.6.2, the .NET installer may run before any NI software installs and may require a reboot before the installation of NI software begins. To avoid a .NET reboot, install .NET 4.6.2 separately before you install NI software.

For more information, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

• The automatic installation of individual NI products are described in KB 4CJDP38M, Customize and Automate Installation of a Single Installer.
• The automatic installation of NI products within a suite, such as the NI Developer Suite, is described in KB 4GGGDQH0, Customize and Automate Installation of a Suited Installer.
• Refer to KB 4CJDR18M, Determine Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer for a description version of the NI Installer your product contains.

---

TDM Server 2018 Clients

Some of the new features and improvements of DataFinder Server and Analysis Server can only be used with the respective National Instruments client software products.

National Instruments recommends the use of the following products for the implementation of DataFinder Server 2018 SP1:

• DIAdem 2018 SP1
• LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit 2018
  
  

To operate Analysis Server 2018, National Instruments recommends using the following product:

• DIAdem 2018 SP1
  
  

If you are a member of a DataFinder Server 2018 Federation, you can use DataFinder Server Edition 2014 or higher. Every program that supports the ASAM ODS CORBA interface, can connect to a DataFinder ASAM ODS server.

Notes on TDM Server and Data Navigator

• Following the setup, reboot the operating system to complete the TDM Server installation. DataFinders and TDM Server that are already installed are stopped before the installation or before an upgrade. This also applies to other NI products based on the NI Skyline Framework. It is not possible to simultaneously install several TDM Server versions on the same operating system. Following the upgrade of an existing TDM Server, you can update the individual instances and then continue using TDM Server.
• You can configure a maximum total of 15 server instances (DataFinder Server, Federation Server, Data Preprocessor, and Analysis Server) in TDM Server Manager.
• TDM Server is shipped together with an embedded database. To operate TDM Server over this database does not require special knowledge or administrative database operations. The administrative steps are either automated or can be executed manually over the TDM Server Control Panel. As an alternative to the embedded database, you can use Microsoft SQL Server as the database. In this case the database must be created and maintained by a Microsoft SQL Server administrator. TDM Server supports the Microsoft SQL Server versions 2005, 2008, 2008R2, and 2012.
  If a Microsoft SQL Server is used as the database backend in DataFinder Server Edition, you can only use the “Use Optimized Background Processes” feature if the partitioning feature of SQL Server is available. Partitioning in SQL Server is only available for Enterprise Edition. Since SQL Server 2016 SP1, partitioning is also available for all editions.
  Note: Once DataFinder Server Edition uses a SQL Server with partitioning support, it is not possible to migrate or recover the DataFinder Server on a SQL Server that does not support partitioning.
• In Data Navigator you can export a maximum of 200 search results to a zip file. Exported zip files must not be larger than 2 GB.
• The TDM Web Server REST APIs replace the previously used DataFinder Manager Script API.
• During installation, you can no longer change the path in which the index of a DataFinder is stored. To specify a different path, open the Index/Cache settings in the TDM Server Control Panel after the installation.
  

New FeaturesNew Features in TDM Server 2018 SP1

• Analysis Server scripts provide new properties and methods for , using the SystemLink File Viewer and SystemLink Tag Viewer.
• A channel preview is now available in the Data Navigator Properties Display.
  

New Features in TDM Server 2018

• New application "Data Navigator". Data Navigator is a web application which you use for browsing the DataFinder servers of TDM Server without having to install the program on the client computer. You can execute quick searches and
  advanced searches, evaluate the properties of the search results, and save search results in the original or in the TDM format on your hard disk.
• Create and restore backups of an analysis server.
• Optimize the background processes of DataFinder, for example when deleting DataPlugins or search areas, so that the DataFinder can react faster to requests from the client.
• Exclusive editing of a server instance to accept several changes in one step. Simultaneous changes to the server configuration through different users are also prevented by this.
• Improved workflow in the Server Manager web interface. Instead of superordinate menus, the web interface offers a context-specific configuration icon with logical next steps.
• Display status information of all server instances in the Server Manager.
• REST API for server configuration of DataFinders, Data Preprocessors, and Federations.
• REST API for searching, browsing, and converting files in the DataFinder index
• ASAM ODS 6.0 compatible Web-API for accessing the DataFinder index
• Python scripting support as an alternative for VBS for Analysis Server procedures.
• Developer support for all REST interfaces through the integrated SwaggerUI.
• Simplified TDM Server web server setup for evaluation.

Known Issues

• You cannot use the DataFinder with a Microsoft SQL adaptor if the DataFinder is running on a computer with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, or an earlier version. Install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 to solve this error. Microsoft describes this problem on the Microsoft website in the KnowledgeBase entry 2640696. A hotfix for this issue is on the Microsoft website in the KnowledgeBase entry 983246.
• If you stop the Analysis Server and specify that the processing of open tasks is to be continued, the overview displays the current tasks as 'Canceled' after the Analysis Server restarts, even if these tasks are still being processed.
• The Analysis Server does not support the method Report.Sheets(x).Objects(y).Select.
• Using TDM Server on an operating system that is not a server operating system may lead to issues. In particular, TDM server does not support the Windows Standby mode or the Windows Hibernate mode.
• The operation of the TDM Server requires a user profile for the TDM Server account. The resources to be used in the operation (for example a printer) can then be assigned to this user profile. Windows creates the user profile automatically as soon as you log on to the server machine with the respective TDM Server account. The user profile of the TDM Server account is also required for the output of PDF documents.
• If you have a parallel installation of TDM Server 2018 and DIAdem 2017, you cannot use the DataFinder hierarchy preview, which you open in DIAdem SCRIPT through “Settings»TDM Server»DataFinder Hierarchy”.
• You cannot delete or upgrade DataFinder instances of DataFinder Server Edition 2015 in TDM Server 2018. Instead, create a backup of the DataFinder instance and restore this instance in TDM Server 2018 from the backup. Nor can you upgrade a Federation of DataFinder Server Edition 2015 in TDM Server 2018. You must delete the Federation in DataFinder Server Edition2015 and re-create it in TDM Server 2018. Then you must reconnect the Federation members with the Federation you created.
• Analysis Server configurations (*.ANP) must not exceed a file size of 1 GB.
• If you switch to a TDM Server account in the TDM Server Control Panel that does not have administrator permissions on the server, SystemLink JupyterLab crashes.
• When you uninstall TDM Server, server instances are not deleted. Delete the servers manually so that the servers do not remain on the system.
• If you uninstall the entire National Instruments software in NI Package Manager in a single step, you may receive the error message "A plugin returned one or more errors at the end of the transaction. You can ignore these error messages and confirm with OK as they are not relevant for the uninstallation.
• From Windows 10 1803 onwards, the Edge Browser prevents live updates coming from the server when an unsecured connection is used. This affects the CPU load display, server status updates, and other incoming notifications.
  

Automating the Installation of NI Products

You can automate the installation of most NI products using command-line arguments to suppress some or all of the installer dialog boxes.

For more information, refer to the following KnowledgeBase articles:

• The automatic installation of individual NI products are described in KB 4CJDP38M, Customize and Automate Installation of a Single Installer.
• Refer to KB 4CJDR18M, Determine Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer for a description version of the NI Installer your product contains.
  

Discontinuing Support for Logos

The Logos communication protocol (communication via UDP) used by DIAdem versions before DIAdem 2012 SP2 will no longer be supported as of version 2019. This means that earlier clients can no longer communicate with DataFinder Server 2019 or My DataFinder 2019. In future, you can only use Logos XT (communication via TCP) for communication with DataFinder. This applies to the DIAdem and LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit clients.
