Indication of File Index Status
For faster data display when zooming and scrolling in the oscilloscope, a
standard indexed measure file is beneficial.
The standard index is supported for MDF file format V3.3 and V4.x. The index-
ing can be set in the INCA user options. For more information, see the
INCA documentation.
In the File Explorer of MDA V8, the icon
supports the standard index, but is not yet indexed.
The status of the standard indexing is also listed in the measure file tooltip and
Information window.

Exporting and Converting Measure Data
MDA V8.6 supports all versions of MDF files. MDF files can be read and writ-
ten. Exporting measure data, i.e. writing a new file, is limited currently to sig-
nals having numeric values and enumerations. You can either export a
complete measure file or a subset of signals.
To see how you can export a measure file for a selection of signals, or how to
convert a measure file into a new file format, watch our video
Signals and Files.
You can convert a measure file into an MDF format (MDF V2.x to V4.1) or an
ASCII format. The following ASCII formats are supported:
DXL
l
This format contains only real data, i.e. only data that has actually been
recorded, and no interpolated data. The first column contains all recor-
ded timestamps (combined from all available measured rasters). The
second column contains all recorded timestamps for a specific raster,
e.g. 100 ms. The next columns show signal specific recorded values.
The values correspond to the timestamps in the second column. If no
value has been recorded for a signal at a specific timestamp, an empty
MDA V8.6 – User Guide
The original comment or meta information remains in the meas-
ure file. It can be found if the measure file is opened with an
editor tool. To remove completely the original comment or meta
information and make it anonymous, perform subsequently an
export of the measure data into a new measure file.
Note that editing is only possible if MDA V8 gets a write access
on the file and only works with MDF3 and MDF4 files. This func-
tion does not work for measure files created with snapshot
recording.
