Configuration Template

MDA V8 allows to load the same configuration in XDX format only once. However, if you want to use a specific configuration as basis for the analysis of different files, you can save it as a configuration template in XDT format.

You can open the same configuration template several times and thereby conduct the analysis of multiple files in parallel. For a better performance, the configuration template is opened without loading the original measure file. To work with the template, it is sufficient to add the desired files and to assign them accordingly in the Add or Replace dialog.

You can perform the following actions:

To create a configuration template

  1. In MDA, switch to the desired configuration to make it active.

  2. On the Configuration tab of the ribbon, select Save As Template in the drop-down menu below .

    You can use the suggested file name or enter a new one. Existing XDX configuration files are not overwritten by the XDT template file.

  3. The configuration is saved as a template in XDT format.
