Installing the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs

Issue Details

I want to call DIAdem from a running LabVIEW VI and specify what data is loaded into DIAdem and how that data is displayed, among other use cases.

Solution

1. Download the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs 2025 Q4.zip file from this article and unzip it locally to your computer
    
   
   
2. Install the LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs into the "examples" and "vi.lib" folders of the LabVIEW version you want to use
    
   
   
3. The next time you launch your LabVIEW application, you will see a new "DIAdem" palette in the "Connectivity" category
    
   
   
4. You will also see a new "DIAdem" category in your LabVIEW Example Finder
    

Additional Information

This is the first update to these LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivity VIs since April, 2007.  In the intervening years, both DIAdem and NI-DAQ changed tremendously, and a number of the VIs had stopped working properly.  In particular, the earlier flat commands to control DIAdem REPORT modules and print to PDF file changed to object-oriented commands. 

The LabVIEW DIAdem Connectivty VIs 2025 Q4 and its shipping examples have been tested with the following product version combinations:
LabVIEW 2018 32bit / DIAdem 2017 32bit
LabVIEW 2018 64bit / DIAdem 2017 64bit
LabVIEW 2025 64bit / DIAdem 2025 Q2 

Note that ActiveX calls from LabVIEW to DIAdem will only work if both applications share the same bitness (32bit/64bit).  All DIAdem versions after 2017 released in 64bit only.
