How do I format my DAQ Channels in a MDF Format as INCA(ETAS)or Canape(Vector) binary files

[iveco]

I use Labview 6.1 to devlope a measurement workplace(EGR valve, Turbocharger governor and so on)

We have in house some tools like Vetors CAnape or INCA V4.x to measure and analize. Because the people are very usual with this tool I want to format my DAQ measurements (PCI MIO 16XE-10) in MDF binary Format.

Is there a tool available to convert the AI Read data into the MDF binary format?

Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance

Regards
Marcel

Hi,Marcel
I am also interested in the format of mdf file.
I have figured out some rules in the structure of it, but there are still lots of work to do.
I would be glad to share my work with you.

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

NI does not have a tool that will convert into MDF format. There is a Plug-In for Diadem which allows you to read MDF files at http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=E267F645DF776A21E034080020E74861&p_node=201258 .

The following website might be helpful to you. It has general information on MDF format and tools for creating MDF files. http://www.techquila.com/index.html

I hope this helps,
