New Features and Upgrade Resources for DIAdem Each new release of DIAdem software aims to make you more productive and efficient when visualizing, analyzing, and reporting data so that you can spend more time on the tasks that truly matter—such as using information extracted from data to make decisions. DIAdem 2015 introduces several new features that help you customize your analysis and reporting routine and access data worldwid Mining and Managing Your Data NI My DataFinder Technology NI My DataFinder technology installs with each version of NI DIAdem software. You configure the NI My DataFinder to recognize where your data files are located. This can be a combination of folders on your local machine and folders spread throughout your local network. The NI My DataFinder systematically accesses each file in your defined search areas for which you have a DataPlugin. Each data file's metadata is automatically indexed, making it searchable in the NI My DataFinder. Configured to update periodically so new data files are searchable, the NI My DataFinder immediately recognizes changes to already indexed data. Searching for Data Using the NI My DataFinder The NI My DataFinder has two search interfaces – simple and advanced. Using the simple search, you enter search strings as you do for Internet search tools such as Google or Yahoo. Using the advanced search, you parameterize searches based on the data files' descriptive attributes. Both searches return a list of files, groups, or channels that match your query. You can refine your searches or load the data and start analyzing and reporting it in DIAdem.
