Diadem automation with labview

[Beneuss]

Hi all,



Here, I want to automate diadem from my Labview program.

In fact I use an LVDT and at each acquisition, my program allows me to get a curve.

With labview I connect to diadem and sending the data from this curve in the "data portal" then I create a new tab in the "View" that I renamed with the same name as the curve previously sent.

With a script I can view and see the curve on this tab.



But how do you view the following curve, obtained after a second acquisition in a new tab. Knowing that a new script does not keep tab with the previous curve. Is it possible to "View", as in the "Data Portal", to add data retaining those already there?



Thank you for help if possible!?

Hi Beneuss,

Just in order to understand, instead of replace the previous measurement by the new one, create a new tab for each acquisition ?

In this way, do you run your script each time ?

Hi Beneuss,

How you had automated DIAdem with LabVIEW.

Can you tell me steps to do the same at my end.

Hi Samriddh -

DIAdem exports a robust ActiveX server, with which you can programmatically control DIAdem from any environment that supports making ActiveX calls.  With LabVIEW, this is done using the ActiveX palette accessible from the LabVIEW Block Diagram via Functions » Connectivity » ActiveX.  

Additionally, you might find it easiest to get started by using the DIAdem Connectivity VIs (LabVIEW subVIs that wrap DIAdem ActiveX calls) as it drastically simplifies programming.

Hello, where can I find the file subDIAdemReport.vi?

Hi Hugo,

The DIAdem Report.vi can be found on the Express function palette in LabVIEW, in the Output sub-palette.

Hi Brad,

I'm using DIAdem for historical data trending.I'm selecting some period of time (for example 03.04.2007-03.21.2012) and I want to show the data in columns (like bars) which are representing the average value of each month of the selected period.How can you help me to implement this.
