Requirements: View

This DataPlugin supports reading / importing of Bosch MDF data files, ETAS INCA® MDF data and Vector CANape® and other products from Vector. The DataPlugin supports MDF files up to version 3.2. The MDF DataPlugin also supports writing of MDF 3.0 and 3.2 files. Writing behavior is controlled by the root property 'version'; set version to "MDF 3.2" to write MDF 3.2 files.

The Measure Data Format (MDF) is well established in the automotive industry for recording, exchanging, and post-measurement analysis. MDF files are produced by eg. INCA® from ETAS, and by CANape® and other products from Vector.

A DIAdem script that maps MDF channels to a common time channel is described in this KB article.

Supported Features:

  • Reading and Writing MDF files up to version 3.2.
  • Writing of MDF files in version 3.0 and 3.2.
  • By writing MDF files the first channel of a channel group will be treated as time channel.
  • Channels with data types int40/48/56
  • Channels with length 0.

Not Supported Features:

  • Text channels are ignored by writing MDF files.

MDF DataPlugin requires DIAdem 10.0
The MDF DataPlugin does work with DIAdem 10.0 and higher. DIAdem 9.1 is not supported by the MDF DataPlugin.

Problem with mdf-plugin in DIADEM 9.1
Hello, I downloaded the MDF Dataplugin and installed it on my PC with DIADEM 9.10.2036. When trying to open a Canape MDF-file I get the error message: " Das Laden der Datei "C:\TMP\S_Fahrt1.mdf" mit dem Ladeverfahren "MDF" ist fehlgeschlagen! Einzelheiten können Sie der Logdatei entnehmen. Fehlermeldung des Ladeverfahrens: Die Datei "C:\TMP\S_Fahrt1.mdf" kann nicht geöffnet werden." " The file should be ok Best regards Dr. Mathias Lutz
