4.5 Handling of Special Files
4.5.1 Using Label Files (LAB)
V8.6 supports to read and write a selection of signals in a label file format
(*.lab). Besides the signal names, a label file can optionally contain raster
information or other meta information for a signal. Using LAB files to filter vari-
ables facilitates and accelerates the variable selection in INCA and MDA.
You can perform the following actions:

"To write a LAB file" below
To add a LAB file
Label files can be handled like measure files. To know how you can add, replace,
or delete them, see "Adding, Replacing, and Removing Measure Files" on page33
Label files are listed in the Variable Explorer in an own category and can be used
in the same way as the source category. If you filter based on a LAB file, only the
signal name is used as criterion. Additional criteria can be applied by other filter
categories. For more information, see "Filtering per categories" on page97.
To write a LAB file
1. Open the Configuration Manager.
2. Right click an object node or select different object nodes for which you
want to export the signals.
3. In the context menu click Create Label File.
4. In the Save As window select the format.
You can choose between V1.0 (only signal names) and V1.1 (signal names
and raster information).
