CDM Settings for Comparisons: Axis

To go to this tab, click the Settings toolbar button and select the Compare tab. In the Compare tab, double-click in the Value field of the Axis option.

You can set the following values for each option:

always list	For the selected element, the values in the different datasets are not compared. The element is always listed in the output file.
compare and list always	For the selected element, the values in the different datasets are compared. The element is always listed in the output file.
compare and list if different	For the selected element, the values in the different datasets are compared. The element is listed in the output file only if differences are found.
never list	For the selected element, the values in the different datasets are not compared. The element is not listed in the output file.

Note
Quality Meta Data is available only if the add-on INCA-QM BASIC is installed with INCA.

You can select the following attributes of the respective axis for the Compare action (ASAM-2MC keywords for the attributes in square brackets):

Name
Axis name. Relevant only for axis point distribution of group maps. [AXIS_PTS]
Long identifier
Long identifier of axes. Relevant only for axis point distribution of group maps. [LongIdentifier].
Value (phys)
The physical values of axis points. [VALUE]
Value (hex)
The implementation value of axis points in hexadecimal notation. [VALUE]
Unit
The unit of the axis. [Unit]
When units are compared, the units of the included axes (FIX, STD) are also compared. The units of referenced axes are not taken into account.
Soft limits (phys)
Upper and lower limit of value range as physical value. [LowerLimit, UpperLimit]
Soft limits (hex)
Upper and lower limit of value range in hexadecimal notation. [LowerLimit, UpperLimit]
Hard limits (phys)
If present, the extended upper and lower limits of value range as physical value. [EXTENDED_LIMITS]
Hard limits (hex)
If present, the extended upper and lower limits of value range in hexadecimal notation. [EXTENDED_LIMITS]
Conversion name
Name of conversion formula for the axis. [Conversion]
Conversion formula
Computation method for conversion between implementation and physical value of axis points. [COMPU_METHOD]
Current number of axis points
Actual number of axis points of an axis. Determined from the dataset.
Max. number of axis points
Permissible maximum number of axis points of an axis. [MaxAxisPts]
Input quantity
Measure value used for determining the work point of an axis. [InputQuantity]
Data type
Data type for the axis points of an axis.

For the individual attributes, a definition is made about whether they are to be compared and listed, compared only, listed only, or completely skipped.
