HTML Display Type for VIEW

Status: New Submitted by Member on 05-05-2023 10:07 AM 1 Comment

Some Python plotting modules have an HTML output for Python graphs (Bokeh and Plotly, for example), and Plotly specifically has some really cool interactive HTML plots.  It would be great to have a simple HTML Display Type in VIEW to be able to view these plot outputs!

Add 'undo' for VIEW

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 08-31-2010 01:11 PM 14 Comment

Having 'undo' in REPORT is great, and would be just as great in VIEW!  Removing and adding channels from a 2D axis would be my favorite use of an "undo" function.

Curve and AxisDefinition config window in DIAdem VIEW

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 04-15-2014 08:01 AM 6 Comment

In VIEW tab, when working with 2D-graphs some times it is useful to change the line width, the background color, the axis color, the line style... as in the REPORTER tab because for analyzing and studying the data before having the final data to report, the VIEW tab offers much more comfort. The Curve and Axis Definition in REPORT can replace the current 2D Axis System Display window:

Default setting for VIEW legend items

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 09-20-2019 01:24 PM 1 Comment

When I create a new 2D curve (or drag and drop from another area) in VIEW, I always get “name and unit” for the legend items.  For a table, it’s always Name, Group name, Length and Unit.

 

I'd like these defaults to be customized. For example, if I always want just name for my 2D axis system legends, I'd like to set this somewhere.  I think a great place would be in "DIAdem Settings -> General" near the "Colors" area.

A tool to export a video of DIAdem VIEW, playing a synchronized video, map, audio and data

Status: Declined Submitted by Member on 05-18-2012 09:47 AM 6 Comment

It's very common you need to do a presentation with several information and if you can put a video playing a synchronized video, map, audio and data graphs, like DIAdem VIEW do, your presentation will be cause a excellent impression. To do this today you need a capture screen toll, If DIAdem have a native tool to do this it would be great.

View: Table scrolling simultaneously with the 2D-Graph

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 02-26-2013 03:45 AM 4 Comment

 

Hi,

it would be helpful to have the following option in the View:

In case of moving the cursor through the 2D-Graph, I would like to have the table scrolling automatically the same way with highlightning the values of the cursors position. 

 

Kind regards

Copy VIEW legend items when dragging-and-dropping from one area to another

Status: Already Implemented Submitted by Member on 09-20-2019 01:31 PM 2 Comment

I'd like the legend items to transfer when data is dragged from one area to another in VIEW. Currently, for example when I drag a curve from one 2D axis in VIEW to an empty area, the legend items are the defaults, "name" and "unit".

Multiple manual scales for multiple waveforms on one graph in VIEW panel.

Status: Completed Submitted by on 11-22-2012 02:12 AM 2 Comment

Hello ALL,

 

there is only one manual scale to be set in a 2D graph in VIEW Panel. It would be a great idea if setting manual scales would allow you to set seperate scales for seperate plots on one graph.

DIAdem VIEW zoom improvements

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Active Participant on 10-04-2013 06:22 AM 5 Comment

I'd like to propose a few improvements to the zoom functionality in DIAdem VIEW that are sorely missing usability-wise:

 

  1. Vertical band zoom: This would allow one to zoom in on a specific part of the y axis without touching the x axis. We have the horizontal, why not vertical?
  2. Sticky zoom button: When I want to zoom in to a specific part of a graph in successive steps, I have to click on the zoom button each time. It would be great to be able to click on it once to activate the zoom tool and to be able to zoom several times. (Not sure what the best mechanism is, but maybe a click with modifier key? Ctrl+click on zoom button keeps it active?)
  3. Zoom stack with undo: Following on from point 2, when I zoom in in successive steps, it would be nice to be able to go back to the previous zoom level. Right now I can only do a generic zoom out or cancel all zooming. It could simply be an extra button in the zoom palette that goes back up one level in the zoom stack (like an undo. It could even be integrated into a more generic undo functionality if it ever comes about.)

 

I think that for points 2 and 3 there are several ways this could be done. I think the focus should be on usability. The user needs to be able to navigate the data as quickly and as efficiently as possible and the current zoom implementation is clearly impractical for many users.

Hiding curves in View

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 10-20-2011 02:58 AM 5 Comment

Is it possible to expand NI Diadem View to an option that allows hiding of curves without changing the properties of the graph or curve.

 

See example in the attachments.

 

Thanks a lot

Allow VIEW area re-arranging by clicking/dragging

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 08-31-2010 01:31 PM 13 Comment

Sometimes you want to move an area around, and the only way right now is to re-create an area which is quite inefficient.

Add VIEW multi-line legend option (2018+)

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 10-19-2018 01:57 PM 8 Comment

In DIAdem 2018, the VIEW legend changed and multi-line legends are no longer supported.  I'd like to add back in a predictable multi-line legend option.  When multiple legend items are added in DIAdem 2018, much more of the screen is taken up with the legend (if I want to view all of the legend items), and less of the data area is visible.

 

I've attached two images to show the comparison of a 2D axes with 5 legend items in DIAdem 2017 and 2018.

Use DIAdem mapping function to create a bread crumb trail

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 10-02-2010 08:39 AM 11 Comment

All,

 

I am currently trying to use the new mapping feature in DIAdem 2010 to create a map of a drive route.  I want the map to contain a "bread crumb" trail of the route.  I also need the ability to change the each Lattitude/Longitude point to a specific color depending on another channel of data.  I have a report that does a similar task but I use MapPoint and Labview to create the map and then export it as an image and use DIAdem to grab the image and attach it into the report.  I thought I might be able to leverage the DIAdem 2010 mapping feature if possible. 

 

I have attached a map of what I am trying to do in the DIAdem forums at the following location.

Configurable background color for VIEW

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 09-13-2010 02:53 PM 7 Comment

Allow the background color for the VIEW window to be changed. Ideally to black to match the default color on LabVIEW graphs and charts. Difficult to see the lighter colors (yellow, orange) on a white background.

Allowing to drag and drop channel in the pocket calculator

Status: Completed Submitted by on 04-04-2011 04:25 AM 4 Comment

Hi,

 

I noticed channels can be dragged and drop everywhere but in the calculator. Ths channel list is quite OK when havin a few channel in the Data portal but becomes fast ´a waste of time on bigger projects. Allowing to drag channel in ot would make it faster to use and also a bit more user friendly.

3D axis diplay on VIEW

Status: Declined Submitted by on 07-27-2014 07:49 PM 6 Comment

Hello.

 

I have a customer who would like to use 3D Axis systems on VIEW section.

 

This function is for Report section.

As you can see below.DIAdem_Report.png

 

He would like to realize this function on VIEW section as well.

 

I wish this function would be made for VIEW section as well.

Assignment Channel Table Format

Status: Under Consideration Submitted by Member on 03-08-2018 10:12 AM 1 Comment

Assignment channels are useful for converting extremely long text channels with repeated values into numeric channels for saving, but I feel like viewing the text values in table format is clumsy as it requires converting the channel back to text or manually looking up the value in the Assignments property "Parameters" dialog.

 

I would like to see a native option in the "Format" box to directly display the assignment text rather than the numeric value for assignment channels in VIEW and REPORT tables.

For example, in the Format Numbers dialog, in addition to Automatic ("AutoAdj"), Number ("d.dd"), Date/Time ("#mm/dd/yyyy"), etc. entries, you would also see Assignment ("Assign") option.  This would allow you to display the numeric value by default as it works today (to preserve efficiency in VIEW and backwards compatibility), or be able to see the text directly in the table.

 

A few challenges:

  • I assume this would make the channel read-only in VIEW, as the .Values AssignmentChannel property is today.
  • Displaying of text values for unassigned numeric ranges.  Probably just stick with "NOVALUE", but could also do "UNASSIGNED"?

 

I believe the same visibility could be accomplished through an X-Table toggling between .Values and .DValues, so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to accomplish natively.

 

I've attached some image mock-ups for clarity.

Time Format precision in DIAdem

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 09-09-2013 10:43 AM 5 Comment

Hello,

 

I checked the DIAdem hepl and saw that the time value converted in text only allows 4 digits for the fraction of a second.

But how can you display datetime in text for more precise values.

 

For example, if i acquire on a real time target, analog inputs data at 1MHz, all samples are more precisely time stamped than the best text value that you can display.

 

It would be very convenient to display time stamp like that : 06/19/2013 15:37:50.12345678

instead of that : 06/19/2013 15:37:50.0005

 

Thanks  !

Best Regards

Add programmatic "copy" curve for VIEW

Status: Completed Submitted by Member on 02-14-2020 02:55 PM 4 Comment

The user interface allows you to copy a curve in VIEW, but not the programming methods (like exist in REPORT).  I'd like to be able to "copy" a curve just like I can in REPORT.
