Case Study: Northrop Grumman Space Technology achieves rapid telemetry data management with National Instruments LabVIEW and DIAdem

Northrop Grumman Uses NI LabVIEW and DIAdem for Rapid Telemetry Data Management

a major defense company, Northrop Grumman Space Technology, faced the challenge of managing enormous, complex binary telemetry data files from the Airborne Laser project. They needed an inexpensive yet powerful tool to quickly locate, organize, and analyze these large datasets without requiring a custom-built solution that would demand excessive development time and resources.

The vendor, National Instruments, provided a solution using their NI LabVIEW and DIAdem software. By utilizing the NI DataMine application and creating a custom DataPlugin file, the team achieved significant efficiency improvements in data handling. This approach saved hundreds of man-hours in development, provided a flexible and scalable system for future use, and became the focal point of their analysis effort at a low project cost.
