Command Line Tools
With MDA additional command line tools for handling measure files are delivered and can be used in a batch job:
MdfConvert.exe
MdfConvert.exe allows to convert files from one measure file format into another. Additionally, it can be used to extract only a specific time range or a subset of signals from the original file including an argument for resampling. By means of a LAB file it can be defined which signals shall be exported. With a LAB file in V1.3 format, additional filtering for the combination of signal name AND device name is possible.
MdfExtract.exe
MdfExtract.exe can be used in combination with MdfConvert.exe and allows you to extract Events from a specific time range of the original MDF V4.x file, and transfer them into the MDF V4.x target file.
MdfCombine.exe
MdfCombine.exe allows to merge multiple measure files into one combined measure file. Thereby signals having the same name and setup (device, raster, data type, etc.) but from separate files, result in one combined signal. MdfCombine.exe is limited to source files having the same file format.
If you use the merge option, you can combine the source files in a chronological order while the append option allows you to define the order in which the source files must be combined.
To see how you can merge multiple measure files into one combined measure file, watch our video 
Merging of Measure Files.
Mdf4Indexing.exe
Mdf4Indexing.exe allows to add an ASAM standard conform index to an existing measurement file in MDF V4 format. Indexing is beneficial for a faster drawing of signal curves in MDA’s oscilloscope.
For more information about the individual applications, enter in the Windows DOS console the argument --help for the respective command line tool, e.g. mdfconvert --help.
