For some specific functions, the number of input signals is not fixed. Then
drag the desired input signals onto the field in the Inputs block.
4. Click Save.
A * indicates if an instance has unsaved changes.
The function instance is stored in the MDA configuration.
The outputs are available in the Variable Explorer.
You can save an instance even if you do not assign signals to all inputs. In
this case, the outputs cannot be calculated.
To edit an instance
1. Select the instance in the Function Instances list.
2. You can directly edit the function in the Function Instance Definition
area.
3. Click Save.
To copy and paste an instance
1. In the Function Instances field, right-click on the function instance that
you want to copy.
2. Select Copy.
3. Paste the function instance in the Function Instances field.
You can paste the function instance also into another configuration.
To import an instance
Function instances are part of the configuration and can be imported accord-
ingly. For more information, see "Importing an XDX Configuration" on page30
If you are importing a function instance that uses an FMU for calculation, you
need to check that the FMU file is available on the target computer.
To export an instance
Function instances are part of the configuration and therefore no explicit export
is required. If you need a zipped configuration file, see "To export a configuration
and its files" on page30.
To delete an instance
1. Click on the instance in the Function Instances list.
2.
Click in the Function Instances toolbar.
Outputs from the deleted instance which are assigned to an instrument
will appear in no-match state.
7.2 Calculated Signals
Calculated signals can be defined more flexibly, for example, to generate a dif-
ferent signal or a direct comparison with specific measured values. After you
defined a calculated signal, it can be selected like any other measure signal in the
