Standard File Formats

Access measurement data format (MDF), ASAM calibration data format (CDF), and binary logging format (BLF) files

Use thecdfxfunction to access an ASAM calibration data format CDFX-file.

Use themdffunction to access a measurement data format MDF-file, then read its data and save its attachments.

UsemdfDatastoreto access a datastore of MDF-files.

Useblfreadandblfwriteto import and export data from Vector binary logging format BLF-files.

Using MDF Files Via MDF Datastore

Use the MDF Datastore feature of Vehicle Network Toolbox to quickly and efficiently process a data set spread across a collection of multiple MDF files. This workflow is also valuable when there is too much data to fit into available memory.

Data Analytics Application with Many MDF Files

Investigate vehicle battery power during discharge mode across various drive cycles. The data for this analysis are contained in a set of vehicle log files in MDF format. For this example, we need to build up a mechanism that can "detect" when the vehicle battery is in a given mode. What we are really doing is building a detector to determine when a signal of interest (battery power in this case) meets specific criteria. When the criteria is met, we will call that an "event". Each event will be subsequently "qualified" by imposing time bounds. That is to say an event is "qualified" if it persists for at least 5 seconds (such a qualification step can help limit noise and remove transients). The thresholds shown in this example are illustrative only.

Mapping MDF Channels to Simulink Model Input Ports

Programmatically map MDF channels and consume their data via input ports of a Simulink model. It performs the gathering of input port names of a Simulink model and correlates them to the contents of a given MDF file. A linkage between them is then created which consumes channel data sourced from the MDF file when the model runs.
