ETAS
cell is shown. The measurement values that have been selected in a spe-
cific measurement raster, determine the number of columns and can be
considered as a raster block. If more than one raster was used during
recording, additional raster blocks are included in the next columns. In
this DXL format, enumerations are written in their physical rep-
resentation, i.e. as verbal values.
DXL INCA dialect
l
In contrast to the DXL format above, all data is represented in a numer-
ical form. Thus, enumerations are also shown in a numerical form. More
precisely, they are shown in the decimal value before the verbal con-
version has been applied. This format is the same as creating a DXL file
in INCA V7.x when using the conversion format ETASGroupAscii
(ASCII (Multirate-Write only)).
TSV
l
This format allows to quickly transfer data to e.g. Excel. The first
column is a combined time column. All cells are filled up with data by
using the previous value. As a consequence there are no empty cells.
This is needed as Excel interprets empty cells as value "0". Empty cells
are only contained at the beginning of the file as long as no first value is
available for the respective signal. TSV supports only numeric signals.
This means enumerations are ignored.
Customer-specific ASCII formats
l
Additional file formats for which a description file is available are sup-
ported. For more information, see "Defining ASCII Measure File
Formats" on page 22.
With MDA additional add-ons are delivered:
MdfCombine.exe
l
MdfCombine.exe allows to merge multiple measure files into one
combined measure file. Thereby signals having the same name and
setup (device, raster, data type, etc.) but from separate files, result in
one combined signal. MdfCombine.exe is limited to source files hav-
ing the same file format.
If you use the merge option, you can combine the source files in a chro-
nological order, while the append option allows you to define the order
in which the source files must be combined. For more information
about this add-on, use the command line argument mdfcombine -h.

measure file, watch our video
