ETAS MDA V8 - Using Calibration Data Exchange Files (CDF)

4 Configuration Creation | 46
The extracted files are individual files.
The extraction process is visible in the overall status of the export pro-
gress.
Note
When exporting a measure file, the attachments are deleted.
4.5.4 Using Calibration Data Exchange Files (CDF)
V8.6 allows to add CDF files to a configuration.
You can perform the following actions:
"To add a CDF file" below
"To use CDF files for the Lookup Table functions" below
To add a CDF file
CDF files can be handled in the same manner as measure files. To see how you
can add, replace, or delete them, see "Adding, Replacing, and Removing Measure
Files" on page33. Parameters (i.e. curves or maps) provided via a CDF file are lis-
ted in the Variable Explorer.
Note
Axis values of curves and maps used as input for Lookup Tables must have
monotonous axis points. If V8.6 founds an inconsistency, an error or warning
icon appears.
If CDF files have been deleted earlier and the configuration thus contains cal-
culated signals with missing input signals, a dialogue opens that allows you to
either add or replace the selected CDF files. For more information, see "To
replace a measure file" on page35.
To use CDF files for the Lookup Table functions
Curves and maps from CDF files can be used as input signals for the functions
Lookup table (curve) and Lookup table (map) in the Calculated Signals
window.
The needed inputs for these functions are:
the curve or map
a measured signal
the interpolation mode (constant or linear)
To update or modify the values of the curves and maps, use an external editor.
Afterwards, you can replace the CDF file by using the replacement function in the
File Explorer. For more information on how to replace a file, see "To use the "Add
or Replace Files" dialog" on page34.
To see how you can replace a measure file, watch our video Replacing Meas-
ure Files.
