1 DIAdem 2018 and any later versions are offered in only 64 bit.
2 Playback means opening a layout file (.tdv), associating data with the display areas in the layout, and synchronizing cursors between areas. A more current version of DIAdem may be required to create the wanted display areas in a layout file.

DIAdem is software designed to help you quickly locate, inspect, analyze, and report on measurement data using one software tool.
DIAdem is part of the NI LabVIEW+ Suite, which also includes other NI software including LabVIEW, TestStand, FlexLogger, and more. The software works together to save engineers time with purpose-built tools for measurement, analysis, and test.
DIAdem and the LabVIEW+ Suite are available in subscription and perpetual license terms.
LabVIEW+ Suite | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Key differentiators | Recommended for engineers who need to load, search, visualize, and report standard engineering data. Provides core DIAdem inspection tools and DataFinder-based search. Supports viewing data in common graph formats and exporting standard reports. | Recommended for engineers who need more powerful analysis, video synchronization, and workflow automation. It includes everything in DIAdem Advanced plus Python and VBScript scripting, Calculation Manager authoring, and advanced file operations such as CAN conversion and unit handling. | Recommended for teams analyzing complex or rotating machinery data sets. It includes everything in DIAdem Advanced plus high-end analysis (order tracking, shaft centerline, classification, 3D analysis), advanced visualization types, and production-grade automation capabilities. | Recommended for teams building automated test systems and end-to-end workflows. The suite includes DIAdem Professional plus NI LabVIEW, NI TestStand, NI InstrumentStudio™ software, and NI FlexLogger™ software to develop, deploy, and maintain automated test systems. |

A perpetual license means that the version of the software you purchase will never stop working. NI software licenses provide access to an NI software service program. These benefits are included in the first year of perpetual licenses. After the first year, software service is renewable on an annual basis. Even if you do not subscribe to software service, your software will continue to operate with the version you currently have installed.
A subscription license gives you access to software on an annual basis. Once the term of the subscription license is up, you must renew your subscription to keep using the software. When you renew your subscription, you will also maintain access to your NI software service agreement benefits.
Learn about the benefits of software services or read this article to help you decide which license option will best meet your needs.
There are no functional or feature-level differences when purchasing NI software through a subscription or perpetual license. Both licenses include the same features.
Use the comparison table above on this page to evaluate which features align with your workflow and analysis requirements.
Choose the edition that matches your current technical needs and scale as your requirements evolve.
Yes. Licenses can be upgraded between editions as analysis requirements grow.
Yes. DIAdem is a stand-alone application that does not require LabVIEW or TestStand to operate, however it integrates seamlessly with those tools when needed.
Yes. With floating licenses multiple users can share access to a centralized license pool. Node-locked licenses are assigned to a specific user.
Purchasing a single-seat license to DIAdem provides access to an NI software service agreement which includes benefits like new and previous version downloads, technical support, and Exploring Data Interactively using DIAdem on-demand. These benefits are included in subscription licenses and for the first year of perpetual licenses. After the first year, software service is renewable on an annual basis.
