When I started with DIAdem most recently I felt immediately it’s such a powerful tool that I haven’t explored. I was intrigued when one of my friends told me that it was originally built by a German company Gfs and later acquired by National Instruments. While searching, I found that pretty much most of the features are very intact including the GUI components from the original software. Here is a glimpse of some of the old docs I can extract.
For some reason, NI didn’t integrate LabVIEW and DIAdem tightly. Can we consider it as software-killing 😀?
Nevertheless, if you have been in LabVIEW and NI platforms for quite a while, never miss a chance to look at DIAdem. I would say the DIAdem market is automotive. A sidenote on a wealthy NI DIAdem Tutorial from Mark Kiehl is quite useful if you need to get started with it.
Here are old screenshots from an old journal for our curiosity.
I could see there was some LabVIEW panel in old screenshots, may be a feature to connect with LabVIEW, but I don’t see it in new versions anymore. Probably this is changed to VBS script method to call LabVIEW VI’s from DIAdem directly.
Here is a translation of that old journal of elektro.de which explains about DIAdem I found online
Ajay is a professional developer and architect of NI-LabVIEW applications with extreme interest in getting the hardware connected to LabVIEW and automating the stuff. Recently he is also putting his hands in NI-TestStand to get very dirty on it. He is also a good mentor for the various interns in his career. He is ready to help the people in techie roles.
