MDF4 file format
Measurement Data Format version 4 (MDF4) is an ASAM file standard for storing measurement data in a binary file
format. For more information about the MDF4 file format, please visit https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/mdf/wiki/.
6.1
|
Format
The MDF contains both raw measurement data and the metadata needed to interpret the raw data. The metadata
contains, for example, information for converting the raw data into usable physical quantities, or the names of
ASAM-compliant signals. The file is organized in binary blocks, where each block consists of a number of adjacent
bytes that can be viewed as a record or data structure.

Version and compliance with ASAM standard
Our file format follows the MDF 4.1.1 standard, and can be verified using MDF Validator 2.9.10.
6.3
|
Interoperability
Our MDF4 files can be read by the following tools:
• Flexpro
• NI DIAdem
• Vehicle Network Toolbox
• Python Asammdf
• Turbolab MDF4-LIB
Other software may be able to open our files if they support the MDF4 standard, but we haven’t tested them.

Functionality
Main MDF4 features in our devices:
• File description fields: allow users to store information about the context of their measurements
• File history: saves the file creation date
• Marker: time markers added by the user
• Raw data: the raw data saved against the conversion functions defined in the header
• Time synchronization information: information on the source and accuracy of time synchronization
• Attachment: the DAS configuration file is included in the registration file as a backup of the device configura-
tion.
• Lane information: lane identifier, short and long lane names, and color of layout
• Subsampling calculated on the fastest frequency group
