2. For search queries, take the following rules into account:
l
The search is not case-sensitive; it finds data, even if the capitalization
in the text is different from the capitalization in the search term.
l
You can use the ? and * characters as wildcards in your search string.
l
By default, the search string is appended to the "*" wildcard in the
search box . If you want to search for data starting with a specific string,
delete the wildcard.
The search is initiated directly after entering the first character. The match-
ing search string is highlighted. The result of the search can be a layer, an
instrument, or a signal as long as the name matches the entered search
string. If you want to bring the respective layer or instrument into the vis-
ible area, double-click the desired object.
If you change the data, e.g. rename or delete an instrument, the search res-
ult is updated automatically.
4.1.3 Exporting a Configuration
With the Export function you can easily create one zipped file with all relevant
objects, namely the configuration and its assigned files. It allows you to provide in
a fast way a ready-to-use analysis to other users.
To export a configuration and its files
1.
On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click .
If the configuration is not already saved, you are forced to save it to con-
tinue with the export process.
2. Select the location where you want to store the export file.
MDA V8 combines into the zipped export file:
l
Configuration (XDX)
l
Files (measure files, LAB files, CDF files)
For AFF files, linked BLF, and CAN description files are collected.
The export file gets automatically zipped (the file extension is ZDX) and
the export process is visible in the overall status of the progress bar.
To export only a subset of instruments or with just an extract of the measure file,
do the following:
1. Create a copy of the configuration that you want to export.
2. Reduce its contents as desired, optionally replace the original measure file
by an extracted one.
3. Start the exportas described above.
4.1.4 Importing an XDX Configuration
You can reuse contents from an XDX file by importing them into MDA V8. Sup-
