TDM Server offers the possibility to outsource data and evaluations to a server and to organize them centrally. TDM Server contains DataFinder, Data Preprocessor, Analysis Server, and Data Navigator. DataFinder indexes data in the specified search areas. Data Preprocessor standardizes the data of different measurements. Analysis Server executes calculations and creates reports. Use Data Navigator to navigate and search in the search areas of DataFinder. TDM Server returns result data, for example, in TDM, TDMS, and XLSX format as well as reports as PDF, XPS or PPTX documents and graphics in different formats. TDM Server can read and write data in formats supported by the registered Data Plugins. With DIAdem as the development environment, the processing and report generation with TDM Server can be developed and tested. The following document contains instructions for installing and configuring the TDM Server, DIAdem, and the NI Volume License Manager (NI VLM). TDM Server and NI VLM are installed on servers in a company intranet. You install DIAdem as a client on several work stations, which have access to TDM Server.
