*3.5.1 National instruments DIAdem*

DIAdem is a software to manage large amounts of data for measurement data aggregation, inspection, analysis, and reporting (**Figure 49**). With DIAdem, extraction of information from data can be efficiently performed. DIAdem is well adapted to LabVIEW. You can transfer your data from your LabVIEW application to DIAdem. With DIAdem, DataPlugins can be used to read, inspect and search different kinds of custom file formats. NI supplies free downloadable DataPlugins for hundreds of the most commonly used data file formats.

You can write and read waveform data by using the function of **Waveform File**

The following VI generates two waveform sinus signals and write-read them

NI recommends costumers to use TDMS file format because it combines the advantages of several data storage options in one file format (**Table 1**). You can also work with TDM and TDMS files in Excel by utilizing the free TDM Excel Add-in for Microsoft Excel (supported Excel version: from 2007 to Excel 2016). You can take
