1. Introduction

 
LoadMdf allows  to load into Matlab WorkSpace acquisition data contained in .DAT or .MDF  files in format 3.0 produced by ETAS INCA® tool or other program that support Bosch MDF (Measured Data Format) .

2. Launch of LoadMDF

For launch loadmdf there are various mode:

 

·Basic:

>> loadmdf

in this case a dialog box is open to choose MDF file


 

·Explicit:

>> loadmdf('acq.dat')

in this case the file name ('acq.dat' for this example) is previous selected and no query dialog is open.


 

·Extended:

>> loadmdf('acq.dat','label')

in this case the labels name with corresponding values of enumerative variables are loaded into workspace


 

·Debug:

>> loadmdf('acq.dat','q')

in this case a list of full internal name of variables is showed.


 

·Append:

>>loadmdf(‘acq.dat’,’append’,’_acq’)

In this case a string (‘_acq’ in this example)is appended  in all variables names saved in workspace .

For example RPM becomes RPM_acq


 

It’s possible to use all parameters together for example:
>> loadmdf(‘acq.dat’,’label’,’append’,’_acq’)
In this case two extra actions are activated: creation of label into workspace and appending of‘_acq’ in the variables name.



2.1. Structure Format of Variables Loaded

All variables loaded in workspace are structured data with various fields, in the following examples are reported.
rpmf
             Data: [3599x1 double]
             Type: 'variable'
             Time: [3599x1 double]
             Description: 'Eng. Speed proc. - Filtered engine speed'
             Unit_measure: 'rpm'
             Sampling_Time: 0.0050


FAULT_GLOW_ACT1

             Data: [899x1 double]
             State: {6x2 cell}
             Type: 'state'
             Time: [899x1 double]
             Description: 'Vector Fault Type for Feedback Diag'
             Unit_measure: [1x0 char]
             Sampling_Time: 0.0200

For this state variable is present a field State in the following form:
 

>> FAULT_GLOW_ACT1.State

ans =

    'BCA_NO_FAULT'             [  0]
    'BCA_GEN_FAULT'           [  1]
    'BCA_VAR_TOO_HIGH'    [  2]
    'BCA_NO_SIGNAL'           [  3]
    'BCA_OPEN_LOAD'          [  4]
    'BCA_NOT_PERF'              [255]
