For XDA files from INCA V7.x, a new layer is created for the complete imported
content. For XDA files from MDA V7.x, a new layer is created for each instru-
ment. MDA V8.6 imports as much contents (instruments, signals and settings,
calculated signals, Find criteria as calculated signals, and references to meas-
ure files) as are described in the XDA file, and supported in MDA V8. If a con-
tent could not be imported, this is indicated by a warning message in the
status bar at the bottom of the MDA V8.6 window. When clicking onto it, more
details are given.
For more information about the import of calculated signals see "Importing
Calculated Signals via XCS Export File" below and "Import Calculated Signals
from XDA Files: Differences between MDA V7 and MDA V8 " on page 132.
2.1.4
Importing Calculated Signals via XCS Export File
From INCA and MDA V7.x, calculated signals can be exported in an XCS file.
To reuse these calculated signals formula definitions simply import the XCS
file into an MDA V8.6 configuration. The original XCS file will not be changed by
MDA V8.6.
If a calculated signal with the same name already exists, the import cannot be
conducted, which is indicated by a warning message in the status bar at the
bottom of the MDA V8.6 window. When clicking onto it, more details are given.
MDA V8.6 – User Guide
Continue the import without selecting a measure file. All sig-
nals are indicated as "No Match" signals. If you add a measure
file later, the Add or Replace Files dialog opens. For more
information, see "To use the "Add or Replace Files" dialog" on
page 30.
1. On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click
2. Select an existing calculated signals export file in an XCS format.
3. In MDA V8.6 a dialog appears where you can select the measure
file to be used for the input signals of the imported formula defin-
itions.
You can choose between two options:
Select the measure file from your file system:
The formula definitions are mapped with the selected meas-
ure file. Only signals that cannot be clearly identified are indic-
ated as "No-Match" signals.
Without selecting a measure file:
All calculated signals are imported but linked to a missing file
as shown in the File Explorer. By replacing the missing file by a
measure file, the "No-Match" status of the input signals of the
calculated signals can be resolved.
