4 Configuration Creation
In order to analyze measure data, a configuration is needed. You can create a
new configuration or open an existing configuration file.
4.1 Maintaining Configurations
When starting V8.6, an empty default configuration is created automatically. This
configuration is set to active and measure files can be added directly. In case an
existing configuration is opened, the default configuration is closed as long as it
is not changed.
Note
With MDA V8, the compatibility is supported in one direction only. This means, a
configuration created with an older MDA V8 version is supported in a newer ver-
sion of the program. But if you try to open a configuration file which has been
created with a newer MDA V8 version, an error message dialog informs you
about the incompatibility.
4.1.1 Creating, Saving, and Closing Configurations
You can perform the following actions:
"To create a new configuration" below
"To load a configuration" below
"To load a recently used configuration" on the next page
"To select the active configuration" on the next page
"To save a configuration" on the next page
"To close a configuration" on page29
To create a new configuration
1.
On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click .
The new configuration is created containing one default layer. By default,
the name of the new configuration is set to "Configuration". If the name is
already in use, it is extended by an increasing number. The name of the
new configuration is displayed in the header of the V8.6 window.
2. Continue with adding measure files to the newly created configuration. For
more information, see "To add a measure file" on page34.
