l
Select the measure file from your file system:
The formula definitions are mapped with the selected measure file. Only
signals that cannot be clearly identified are indicated as "No-Match" sig-
nals.
l
Without selecting a measure file:
All calculated signals are imported but linked to a missing file as shown
in the File Explorer. By replacing the missing file by a measure file, the
"No-Match" status of the input signals of the calculated signals can be
resolved.
If a calculated signal with the same name already exists, the import cannot be
conducted, which is indicated by a warning message in the status bar at the bot-
tom of the V8.6 window. When clicking onto it, more details are given.
To overcome the failed import, rename the existing calculated signal and start
the import procedure again.
For detailed information how calculated signals are imported, see "Import Cal-
culated Signals from XDA Files:Differences between MDA V7 and MDA V8 " on
page131.
4.1.8 Adding Configuration Comments
You can enter additional information for the configuration. For example, you can
explain how this configuration should be used by others.
1. In the Configuration Manager, right-click the configuration and select
About Configuration. Alternatively, press CTRL+I.
The Information Window opens.
2. Enter your comment (up to 10,000 characters).
Note that if you select a measure file in the File Explorer or a signal in the
Configuration Manager before pressing the shortcut keys, then the
metadata of the measure file or signal is displayed. For more information,
see "Measure File Comment and Other Meta Information" on page38 and
"Displaying Signal Information" on page101.
4.2 Maintaining Measure Files
The measure file provides the data you want to display in a configuration.
4.2.1 Adding, Replacing, and Removing Measure Files
For each added measure file, an identifier is displayed in front of the file name in
the File Explorer. The identifier helps you to identify the source file of a signal.
This identifier is always the lowest number that is not yet used for another file in
the configuration. If you replace a measure file, the identifier remains the same as
before.
