User Options: Quality Meta Data Tab (DBM)

To go to this tab, click the Settings toolbar button in the INCA main window and select the Data Exchange tab. In the Data Exchange tab, double-click in the Value field of the Quality Meta Data option.

You can set the following preferences for the quality meta data information supported with the add-on INCA-QM-BASIC in the user options of the Database Manager (Data Exchange - Quality Meta Data); these settings apply for the exchange of both PaCo and CDF V2.0 files:

Template source

Defines the template to be used for the new calibration history entries of the variable.

Use current history entry of same label	Uses the last calibration history entry of the same variable as template.
Use previous history entry of any label	Uses the last edited calibration history entry of a variable as template.
Use project template	Uses the settings you define for the current project as template. To define these settings, open the Edit menu, select Edit default calibration history settings to open the corresponding dialog box.
Use minimal template	Uses only a minimal set of details as template. Only the following fields are filled: Timestamp, Program Version, Dataset, User, State.

History output

Defines the calibration history entries to be written to the output file when listing the dataset contents in PaCo format.

All history entries

Writes the complete calibration history of the variable to the output file.

The last history entry only

Writes only the last calibration history entry of the variable to the output file.

No history entry

Writes no calibration history entries of the variable to the output file.

However, the physical values of the variable are written to the output file.

Company name
Specifies the company name.
Company role
Defines the function of the company according to the MSR standard.
Responsible user
Specifies the name of the user to be included in the calibration history entries.
Create standard copy history entry
Defines whether a default calibration history entry is to be automatically generated when a variable is copied.
Default copy state
Defines the status to be set for the default calibration history entry following copying.
Create standard edit history entry
Defines whether a default calibration history entry is to be automatically generated when a variable is edited.
Default change state
Defines the status to be set for the default calibration history entry following editing.

Copy function history entries of source

Defines the calibration history entries to be used when copying functions from the source dataset.

Append only the most recent history entry from source	Adds only the latest calibration history entry of functions from the source dataset.
Append all history entries from source	Adds the complete calibration history of functions from the source dataset.
Append no history entry from source	Adds no calibration history entries of functions from the source dataset.

Keep function history entries of destination

Defines the calibration history entries to be kept unchanged in the destination dataset when copying functions.

Keep only the most recent history entry in destination	Keeps only the latest calibration history entry of functions in the destination dataset.
Keep all history entries in destination	Keeps the complete calibration history of functions in the destination dataset.
Keep no history entry in destination	Keeps no calibration history entries of functions in the destination dataset.

Copy variable history entries of source

Defines the calibration history entries to be used when copying variables from the source data set.

Append only the most recent history entry from source	Adds only the latest calibration history entry of variables from the source dataset.
Append all history entries from source	Adds the complete calibration history of variables from the source dataset.
Append no history entry from source	Adds no calibration history entries of variables from the source dataset.

Keep variable history entries of destination

Defines the calibration history entries to be kept unchanged in the destination dataset when copying variables.

Keep only the most recent history entry in destination	Keeps only the latest calibration history entry of variables in the destination dataset.
Keep all history entries in destination	Keeps the complete calibration history of variables in the destination dataset.
Keep no history entry in destination	Keeps no calibration history entries of variables in the destination dataset.

Use data set path
Defines whether the full path name of the dataset storage location is to be specified for dataset attributes.
Use project path
Defines whether the full path name of the dataset storage location is to be specified for program attributes.
