National Instruments Delivers Advanced Data Management Capabilities With New
Version of DIAdem
DIAdem 11.1 Adds Advanced Data Visualization and Data Management Features for
High-Volume Applications and Large Group Development

AUSTIN, Texas, July 7, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Instruments
(Nasdaq: NATI) today announced NI DIAdem 11.1, a new version of the
interactive software for managing, analyzing, visualizing and reporting test
data that includes new features and filtering capabilities for advanced
development and automated analysis. DIAdem is designed to help engineers make
informed decisions and meet the demands of today's testing environments, which
require quick access to large volumes of scattered data, consistent reporting
and data visualization. With DIAdem, engineers easily can manage, mine,
analyze and report on data collected during data acquisition or generated
during simulations and provide consistent reporting and data visualization for
applications in industries such as research, automotive, aerospace,
environmental monitoring and structural test.

For advanced data analysis, DIAdem 11.1 adds the new Calculation Manager and
filtering capabilities, which are useful for large group development and
automated analysis. For applications with a high-channel count such as in the
automotive and aerospace industries, engineers now can filter within the data
portal in DIAdem to easily find and access the different channels in memory.
With the new Calculation Manager, engineers can create custom algorithms and
share them within their departments and groups to increase productivity and
reduce errors.

For advanced data management, engineers can use DIAdem to mine, inspect and
analyze measurement data to correlate tests and uncover results in the data.
DIAdem 11.1 features a new tool for converting CAN log files into the
technical data management (TDM) data format for compatibility across
applications. Also, engineers now can customize the interface for DIAdem to
match their applications and take advantage of new 3-D contouring to better
display data.

In addition, NI DataFinder Server Edition 2.1, a valuable tool that extends
test data management to large groups or departments and helps reduce errors
and increase productivity across teams, introduces new performance
enhancements. In the new version of NI DataFinder Server Edition, engineers
can index and query their test data up to 20 times faster than in previous
versions.
