6 Signal Selection
In the Variable Explorer, you can see the contents available in the measure files.
Before a recording in INCA is done, variables are selected in a defined raster. By
definition, a variable becomes a signal if a raster is assigned and latest if measure
data is available. Thus in the context of MDA, only signals are available.
The basic information for a clear allocation of signals are six ASAM MDF standard
labels (Name, Raster, Device, Raster ECU, Raster Device, ECU). In addition, MDA
also uses the path and the name of the measure file.
6.1 Defining Display Name in the Application
V8.6 allows to define which of the following potential variable name shall be used
as Display Name:
Name
Display Identifier
Symbol Link
To select the Display Name, do the following:
1.
In the Variable Explorer click .
2. From the drop-down menu, select the Display Name.
The selected name is shown in the Display Name column.
V8.6 ensures that the Display Name is unique, if necessary the name is extended
by a number in round brackets. Additionally a warning icon is shown.
If the Display Identifier or the Symbol Link is not available, the Name is used as Dis-
play Name.
The Display Name is used application-wide, i.e. it is shown in instruments and in
calculated signals. It is also used when exporting a measure file using a file
format which only supports a single name field (e.g. ASCII).
Only the Display Name column is used for the search in the Variable Explorer.
