NI Technical Data Management

The NI technical data management (TDM) platform helps engineers and scientists properly log, manage, analyze, visualize, and report the large amounts of data they generate during test and measurement applications to move from raw data to meaningful results faster. NI TDM technologies include the TDM Streaming (TDMS) file format for data storage, NI DataFinder for data indexing, the NI LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit for creating custom deployable applications, and NI DIAdem software for offline data processing and reporting. These technologies directly integrate into your applications to help you get the most value out of test and measurement data.
