Make REPORT object oriented

Status:

Because it's so much easier to write scripts for (like VIEW)!

Status:

Feature was just released with DIAdem 2012.

Change Hex Display Prefix from $ to 0x

Status:

The DIAdem prefix for hex data is $ and as I am aware you must use this. Most programs use the prefix 0x. There should be an option to chose one, the other or none.

Status:

This feature was just released with DIAdem 2012. You could use the format instruction 'str' to do the following: Use '$' to display numeric values in hexadecimal format. If more characters follow after the first $ character, DIAdem uses this character as the prefix for the result, for example: Call MsgBoxDisp(str(1234,"$0x")) ' => 0x04D2 If further $ characters follow after the prefix, these characters indicate the number of places. DIAdem interprets all characters behind the last $ character as postfix, for example: Call MsgBoxDisp(str(1234,"$ $$$$$$$$hex")) ' => 000004D2hex If no further character follows after the first $ character, DIAdem shows the number to be formatted as a hexadecimal value and uses the $ character before the numbers as ID for the hexadecimal display: Call MsgBoxDisp(str(1234,"$")) ' => $04D2

Add 2d intensity plot without frequency for VIEW

Status:

In Report it's possible to create a 3D matrix plot with only an Y-axis and the X-axis embedded in the waveform channels.

If you export this to VIEW this won't work since VIEW needs an explicit X and Y channel.

Ton

Status:

This fix was just released with DIAdem 2012

Allow appending sheets in VIEW

Status:

It's very easy and useful to append a layout in REPORT (File...Append Layout), so it's confusing and disappointing that this isn't available in VIEW.

Status:

Added in DIAdem 2011

REPORT: Property-copy for graphs

Status:

If you have several graphs and want to change e.g. the axis-scaling it has to be done for each graph separately. An automatic function would be nice.

Possible solution:

1. mark all graphs to be changed

2. double-click the axis

3. the next menu shows only the properties, which are in all marked graphs the same.

4. Changing one property will change it for all marked graphs.

Status:

DIAdem 2010 already provides the ability to change properties for a list of objects. If this isn't what you expected, please let us know.

Mass-Manage (Delete, Move) Sheets in VIEW and REPORT

Status:

Every once in a while when working with larger VIEW layouts or especially REPORT layouts, I find myself wishing I could mass-manage the sheets. For example, through the manage sheets dialog, I'd love to be able to highlight (shift+click or ctrl+click) multiple sheets and delete them all at once, or highlight multiple sheets and move them all at once as a group. Yes, I know I could manipulate them via SCRIPT, but sometimes I just want to be lazy!

Status:

This is done for DIAdem REPORT and available in DIAdem 2011. The VIEW panel has not been changed in 2011, if that is still important, please create a new entry specifically for the VIEW panel.

ASAM MDF V4.0.0

Status:

Support reading of ASAM MDF V4.0.0.

Status:

Since March, 2013 we support MDF 4 reading and writing. You find the DataPlugin at the DataPlugin web page. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/6568 Thank you for your DIAdem Idea Exchange contribution.

Efficient view of large files

Status:

Waiting for very large measurement files to load can take very much time. In our case, we sometimes load a file to have an overview of the complete measurement and then zoom into some specific parts of the measurement.

Idea:

Do not load into memory all data as long as the user has not zoomed in a specific area.

For example: if a channel has 100000 values, for a complete overview of the measurement, only 50000 values would be used. And when the user zooms in, then all data in that area will be loaded.

This way it is much easier to look for important parts in a measurement without waiting for all data to be loaded.
