MDF file
This file is a binary file format for measurement data (MDF). This
format is used to store, exchange and analyze measure data for
automotive system development purposes. MDF files contain so-
called meta-information like user, company, project, file comments
etc. Typically for MDF format version V3.x the file extension *.dat is
used. For MDF format version V4.x, the file extensions *.mdf or *.mf4
are used.
Measure file
File containing measure data (independent from the actual file
format, e.g. MDF).
Measure variable
Placeholder for a variable which can usually not be influenced dir-
ectly (i.e. calibrated); often used for showing the effects of cal-
ibration activities or environmental conditions. The placeholder does
not include the actual samples.
