Data Set Parameters
The Required Parameters are (in this order):
TYP:= data file type
• 4 4-Byte-Real data;
The data sets are read only via the separate conversion program.
• A ASCII data
DIM:= dimension n of the file (number of columns of the table)
Usually in a simulation data file this corresponds to the number of data
channels
LEN:= number of data records (for ASCII files = number of rows)
In a simulation data file this is equal to the number of time steps calculated.
END:= close of data identification set
The Optional Parameters (in arbitrary sequence and selection) are:
SEP:= separator between the single data values of ASCII sets; this specification
is necessary only when selecting a separator different from the default
semicolon character (";"). The separator may be enclosed by
quotation marks (" "), e.g. SEP:=/ or SEP:="/"
COD:= kind of data (3 Characters)
DAT time domain data
NAM:= data file name (max. 64 characters), e.g., used for titles in graphics
USR:= user name (max. 64 characters allowed)
NEW:= date of creation (DD.MM.YY)
MOD:= date of latest modification
TIM:= time of creation (HH:MM:SS)
Nxx:= name of the XXth quantity in the data record (the first 14 characters are
considered to be valid in DAY); can be used, e.g., for automatic axes labeling;
XX = '01' … n (n - data set dimension); leading zeros must be
specified for XX.
Uxx:= unit of the XXth quantity in the data record - analogous to 'nXX' (max.
6 characters valid); may be SI unit without prefix - the data are supposed
to be in the record in SI units and unscaled; otherwise, confusion
may result in graphic representations.
Optional supplementary parameters, especially for measured transient recorder data:
DX2:= 2 nd sampling rate when dual time base is used
There are much more possible optional parameters in the .mdx file header. The experiment
tool creates .mdx files for simulations results of experiments. To get these parameters open
such a .mdx file with the Text Editor. The header is set always with “END:=”.
