Data Preview

Shows a plot of the selected channel of the selected import file over time..

Format Configuration (data-dependent)

This area is visible only if the File > Format Configuration menu option is marked. It can be used to provide and store information on the table to be imported.

  • drop-down list

    Select a format configuration.

  • New/Rename

    Creates a new format configuration or renames a selected existing configuration.

  • Delete

    Deletes the currently selected format configuration.

  • Use as default checkbox

  • Header row field: Number of the row that contains the column headers, i.e. the channel names.

  • Unit row field: Number of the row that contains the channel units.

  • First data row field: Number of the first row that contains channel data.

Available Channels

This area contains the following elements:

  • a search field

    Case-insensitive search pattern with wildcards:

    • * matches any character

    • ^ matches the beginning of the name

    • $ matches the end of the name

  • a list of all channels that can be imported

  • Sort List Alphabetically checkbox

  • Plot Selected

    Opens a plot for the selected channels. See also Displaying the Measurement Data.

Import>

Adds selected data channels from Available Channels to Import.

Note  

You can also use <Ctrl+I> or double-click a data channel.

Remove f

Removes selected data channels from Import.

Note  

You can also use <Ctrl+R> or double-click an import.

Imports

  • Shows all channels selected for import.

    Use the and buttons to sort the list.

  • Sort List Alphabetically checkbox

  • Plot Selected

    Plots the selected imports.

Time Base (data-dependent)

If not all data should be used, you can restrict the import to a time section.

  • Start Time [s]: begin of the time interval to be imported (in seconds). Use first to refer to the time of the first data point of the selected channels. Example: first+0.1, 3.

  • End Time [s]: end of the time interval to be imported (in seconds). Use last to refer to the time of the last data point of the selected channels. Example: first+0.1, last-20, 100.

  • Common sample Time [s]: enter resampling time (step width) for all selected channels.

  • Fixed Step Width [s]: step width in seconds to which all selected channels will be resampled.

  • Multirate, Base [s] (TSiM plugins only): supports multiple and asynchronous rasters. Imported channels are passed directly to TSiM plugins by default. MOCA visualizes and evaluates the data based on the base sample rate.

  • Resampling Method: defines the method for transforming data at given time points to a uniform time basis.

    • Linear Interpolation — linear interpolation between two points.

    • Adaptive Window — resamples using an adaptive window size.

    • Adaptive Window and keep Missing Data — like Adaptive Window but preserves missing data as NaN.

    • Zero-order Hold — preserves discrete values; recommended for discrete signals.

      Note  

      Integer signals from MDF are always resampled with zero-order hold.

Split Datasets (data-dependend)

  • Split on NaN: To split the dataset on NaN values into multiple datasets, activate the checkbox.

  • Minimal interval length [s]: Splitted datasets that are shorter than the inserted value are skipped.

Import

Starts the import and closes the window.

Cancel

Discards your settings and closes the window.
