1.5.1 Defining ASCIIMeasure File Formats
MDA V8.5 can read and write customer-specific textual (ASCII file) measure file
formats, like customer-specific files in *.csv or *.txt format.
To define ASCII measure file formats
1. To define a new ASCII format, navigate to the following folder:
%ProgramData%\ETAS\MDA\8.x\CorePlugins\
Etas.TargetAccess.Targets.MeasureFile.Formats.
AsciiConfigurable
The following files are contained:
exampleAsciiFormat.ini
Contains the information how the file must be structured. Note
that only the information as described in this file is available
when writing a new format. Other contents will not be gen-
erated.
exampleAsciiFile.exampleExtension
Provides an example of a newly defined file format.
2. Save the file with the new file extension in the same folder as the
files above. Ensure that for each file extension only one INI file is
available. Also file extensions for formats supported by MDA V8.5
directly must not be used again. Otherwise, conflicts will be
caused that might lead to errors.
