DIAdem installs the base package of Python 3.8 (64-bit) DIAdem also supports Python versions 3.6, 3.7, and 3.9 (64-bit).

If Windows Update is enabled, the installation process might hang if Windows Update interferes with the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Run-Time. Visit ni.com/r/exjq43 for more information and steps to resolve this issue.

If you purchased this product with an NI Software Suite or NI Product Bundle, use the installation media that shipped with your purchase to install this product.

Use the serial number that is included with your software to activate DIAdem. For more information about how to activate DIAdem, refer to the NI License Manager Help.

DIAdem 2019 and later versions no longer support the projection of data with color shading or with deformation onto a 3D model of the test object.

As of the DIAdem 2019 installation, the 64-bit version of My DataFinder replaces earlier 32-bit installations. The configuration of My DataFinder takes place in DIAdem versions 2019 or later in DIAdem. In DIAdem versions later than 2019, you configure My DataFinder using the tray icon in the Windows taskbar. C ++ DataPlugins, which are only available in a 32-bit version, need to upgrade to a 64-bit version.

As of DIAdem 2018, you can no longer connect to My DataFinder from a remote computer.

For the MyDataFinder in DIAdem 2021, 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.

Scripts written for the use on SystemLink analysis automation are subject to certain restrictions. Refer to Analysis Automation, General in the Help, for further information.

When you activate DIAdem, you must create a NI 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When loading a DAC block diagram, DIAdem now checks whether the block diagram contains outdated blocks. The block diagram can still run with these blocks, however the outdated blocks are identified with a label.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:

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.

The previously obsolete commands DataCheckChnls and DataSelChn have been permanently removed from DIAdem. Use the Selection collection instead.

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.

From version 2018 onwards, DIAdem imports VBS DataPlugins in encrypted form by default. 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.

SUD files from DIAdem 2021 cannot be loaded in an earlier DIAdem version.

None

The DIAdem icon in the Windows Start menu shows the major version number.

Right-click the buttons to scroll through the tabs in VIEW, REPORT, and SCRIPT to quickly select the tab you want.

In the Data Portal, you can pin new channels automatically.

In the Data Portal, you can create video channels by specifying the path to the video file.

DIAdem installs a new DataPlugin that allows you to search for video files in NAVIGATOR and drag and drop them into the Data Portal to create video channels.

With the new "Bird's Eye View" display type in DIAdem VIEW, you can display radar data, including road course, lane, object list, and sensor fields of view, from a bird's eye perspective. You can synchronize this data with GPS data and the detected objects in the video. Use the playback functions of VIEW to start the bird's eye view display and play back the detected objects, the associated measurement data, and the videos concurrently, or move the cursor to a specific point in time.

As in DIAdem REPORT, you do not need to specify the x-channel in the VIEW display types if the y-channel is an xy-channel.

The coordinates dialog box has been extended with functions for positioning the cursor.

You can now edit all settings of a video in the redesigned video settings dialog box.

In the video display mode, you can also use the new video channels.

You can move or copy VIEW areas using drag and drop. Moving or copying across different worksheets is also possible. When you move or copy an area and position it behind the last worksheet, you can create a new worksheet at the same time.

You can create a video area by dragging and dropping a video channel onto an empty area, or replace an existing video in a video area by dragging a video channel onto that area.

The DIAdem Python environment also supports Python version 3.8.

You can specify an external Python IDE and use it to edit Python scripts.

The automatically generated header of new Python files contains commands to activate the external debugger. See the help for a detailed description of how to set up the external debugger.

When creating new scripts, you can choose whether you prefer VBS or Python as the script language.

The short code snippets of the help now show Python code as well as VBS code.

There are new methods for moving or copying VIEW areas with a script.

There are new methods for copying curves in DIAdem VIEW with a script.

The conversion functions for converting one channel type to another have been renamed so that they all start with "ChnConvert", for example, ChnConvertNumericToTime, ChnConvertNumericToWaveform, or ChnConvertTextToAssignment.

The dialog box for selecting files when testing analysis automation procedures for SystemLink TDM is now resizable to allow the use of long file names.

The slider control provides you with a new input tool in your user dialogs.
