indicated as "No-Match" signals.

Continue the import without selecting a measure file. All signals are
indicated as "No Match" signals. If you add a measure file later, the Add
or Replace Files dialog opens. For more information, see "To use the
"Add or Replace Files" dialog" on page34.
For XDA files from INCA V7.x, a new layer is created for the complete imported con-
tent. For XDA files from MDA V7.x, a new layer is created for each instrument. V8.6
imports as much contents (instruments, signals and settings, calculated signals,
Find criteria as calculated signals, and references to measure files) as are
described in the XDA file, and supported in MDA V8. If a content could not be
imported, this is indicated by a warning message in the status bar at the bottom
of the V8.6 window. When clicking onto it, more details are given.
For more information about the import of calculated signals see "Importing Cal-
culated Signals via XCS Export File" below and "Import Calculated Signals from
XDA Files:Differences between MDA V7 and MDA V8 " on page131.
4.1.6 Importing a ZDX Configuration
1.
On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click .
2. Define the location for the extraction of the ZDX file.
MDA V8 automatically extracts the ZDX file and opens the configuration
file.
Thereby it loads all files from the folders created during the extraction pro-
cess. Eventually, MDA saves the opened configuration with the new path
information for the assigned files.
Note
Although the export file is an ordinary zipped file format, it is not recom-
mended to extract it manually.
During the import of the ZDX file, MDA V8 checks the configuration and
updates the file paths for the new file locations. If you unzip the file manu-
ally, the update for the extracted configuration file is not done.
4.1.7 Importing Calculated Signals via XCS Export File
From INCA and MDA V7.x, calculated signals can be exported in an XCS file.
To reuse these calculated signals formula definitions simply import the XCS file
into an V8.6 configuration. The original XCS file will not be changed by V8.6.
1.
On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, click .
2. Select an existing calculated signals export file in an XCS format.
3. In V8.6 a dialog appears where you can select the measure file to be used
for the input signals of the imported formula definitions.
You can choose between two options:
