How do I read datafiles generated by ETAS INCA 4.0?

Any one have done this before?, know the binary file headers, etc?

Could you please provide some more detailed information regarding the format ? Is this the "mdf" format which was defined by Bosch a while ago and which is also supported by Vector's CANAPE ?

It would be helpful if you could provide an example file so that we can check.

Andreas,

Inca puts out 4 files, they are .cfg, .dat, .mda and a MS-Access add-in. I tried loading the .dat file straight into DIAdem with no luck. I can not provide an example file since it contains propietary info.

Thanks,

Moises

Moises,

It's just a guess which one of the files has the Bosch MDF format. I have testfiles from Inca which are MDF and the file extension for those is ".dat" so perhaps we can start there.
I have attached a script and an ActiveX control. Please copy the ocx file to the DIAdem-directory and register it with "regsrv2 scriptlibrary.ocx" from the command prompt. Start the script from within DIAdem. It will ask for the file to import. Please let me know how this works.

Moises, Andreas,

you are right, the DAT-Files are in MDF-Format (a grazy ETAS-Idea).
There´s also a "slow working" DIAdem-Export-Option available for INCA (filename: *#DiademATF.dat and *#DiademATF.bin).

But the best and fastest way is to use MDF import utility, it imports all the INCA-Comments too.
To reduce the number of time-channels (one for each CAN-ID) we use ChnMapLinCalc(..).
Moises, tell us, if it´s helpfull for you to include the interpolation for time-channel-reduction in the import tool.

Hallo Andreas,

der Versuch der Registrierung der ocx-Dateii endet bei mir mit der Meldung:

<<Der Befehl "regsrv2" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.>>

Was ist zu tun?

Danke,

Clemens

Hallo Clemens!
 
Andreas meinte wohl regsvr32.exe

Matthias,

 Vielen Dank für die rasche Information, unser Helpdesk hatte das auch schon vermutet und die Datei für mich registriert.

Danke nochmals!

Hallo Clemens,

darf ich nach deinem Brötchengeber (z.B. DC, BMW, ... ) oder der Location (evtl. S, UT, Sifi, M, IN, ...) fragen, da ich momentan Anforderungen an das MDF-Plugin sammle und mit NI diskutiere.

 

Ein Hallo an weitere Interessenten dieses Themas,

falls Wünsche, Fehler, ... zum MDF-Plugin auftauchen könnten wir diesen Thread zur öffentlichen Diskussion nutzen.

(If there are any requirements, known bugs, ... concerning the MDF-Plugin, use this thread for public discusssion).

Hallo MDF-Importeure,

bis gestern war im Web ein MDF-Plugin vom Februar bereitgestellt.

Inzwischen ist eine aktuellere Version mit einigen Verbesserungen und Bereinigungen verfügbar (z.B. automatisches Anlegen von Attributen).
