National Instruments DIAdem is an interactive, ready-to-run software tool for mathematical and visual data analysis, report generation, task automation and data management. DIAdem requires no programming or scripting to analyze your data.
The concept of DIAdem is based on grouping like functions onto icons and making related functions available easily. The functions have been grouped into five major areas: data management, graphical analysis, mathematical analysis, report generation and integrated script capabilities.

Data Analysis
Data analysis is an important step in getting to your results; analysis provides additional intelligence that allows you to make informed decisions based on your data. DIAdem offers a wide range of powerful mathematical routines to analyze your data with. The DIAdem analysis libraries are separated into groups of like functionality. Each analysis function has its own unique set of parameters that are specific to the individual analysis function. The DIAdem analysis functions are completely mouse driven and require no additional scripting to analyze your data. There also is a powerful formula interpreter that allows you to enter your own math functions interactively.
Once a function has been selected by clicking on its icon, a dialog will appear that shows all available settings for the particular functions. You simply select the function and the parameters and execute the calculation, no programming required.

Visual Analysis
In addition to mathematical analysis, DIAdem provides visual analysis functions. The DIAdem visual analysis functions include several different cursor options for zooming, and scrolling, as well as features for truncating, copying ranges of data, and marking specific points. You can also define and incorporate your own visual analysis functions. The visual analysis functions are completely mouse driven providing a truly interactive environment for visually inspecting and analyzing your data.
