3.14 Quality Assessment and Limitations

The following known limitations exist in the released version:

General:

- It is recommended to use not more than 100 signals in one analysis view.

- It is recommended to work with supported files on a local drive.

- MDA is not able to handle 2byte or 3 byte characters properly in general.

- It is recommended to de-install older versions of MDA manually before a new installation

(esp. for downgrading).

- On a Win 7 PC it is recommended to use Win 7 Classic Theme.

- It is recommended to use Line Type "Solid" for signals when the Y-Axis range is set to less than 1% of signal's available range.

Printing:

- MDA is not able to handle paper sizes larger than 999mm.

- Setting for paper layout (size, orientation) in MDA printer settings must be the same as for printer itself.

- In case the created image for print exceeds a limit of 90MB not all printers

(software/hardware) are supported.

- Modifying the printer settings from MDA Print Layout Editor will change the default printer settings.

MDA/INCA - Calculated Signals:

- It is recommended to use '.' as decimal symbol for defining calculated signals.

- Using library functions in formulas might cause some differences in the number of

samples.

- Measure time as input signal does not work correctly.

- It is recommended to use Cache file for calculated signals which cannot be merged.

- If a user wants to change a .pm file then MDA should be closed before. It is

recommended to clear the cache files directory (….\ETASData\MDA_Cache) once if .pm

file(s) is modified while the tool is open after migration to MDAV7.1.8 or higher.

ETAS File Indexing

- It is recommended to use ETAS File Indexing when the measure file size is greater than

100 MB.

Visualization view for Video Data

- Usage of larger files (> 10 min) may lead to performance issues or synchronization

functionality losses.

- Needs a special asap1 driver to be installed in addition. Necessary video codecs have to

be installed separately and are not part of SP1.

- In some cases on Click of Play, Video Ends without playing completely for few of the

video signals instead of playing completely. (Defect #361672). This issue is due to the limitation in the media player control and occurs only for some files and not in general.
