2. Select an existing configuration in the XDX format.
3. In the Import dialog, select the content that you want to import.
If in the target configuration just one measure file is available, the input sig-
nals of the imported calculated signals are mapped to the available file.
If more than one or no measure file is available, the original file is shown as
entry in the File Explorer, but as a missing file. Calculated signals for which
the input signals are not available are indicated with .
Files that are already loaded in the target configuration are skipped. If
another content with the same name already exists, an increment is auto-
matically appended to the nameof the imported content.
Time offsets for measure files are ignored.
Note
If you use calculated signals, which have as input signal another cal-
culated signal, you need to check after the import that the reference to
the input signal is correct.
Note
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.
4.1.5 Importing an XDAConfiguration
In INCA and MDA V7.x, configurations are created in XDA format. To reuse these

played. Only signals that are not contained in the new measure file are
