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.

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 Rights

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 rights.

If you operate various DIAdem versions on one computer, you only have the entire range of functions in each version if you have administrator rights.

Miscellaneous

Internet Explorer: For the map display in DIAdem VIEW and DIAdem DAC, you need the Internet Explorer as of version11
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.

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

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.

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.
