~~NOTOC~~ > Administrator’s Manual #@IC_HTML@# > Export ====== Test plan format DFD (ASCII) ====== ---- The "Q-DAS ASCII Transfer Format" is an internationally established transfer format for measurement data. Its structure is very simple and can be read by many measuring systems, such as coordinate measuring machines and CAQ systems. It consists of two parts: a description file (DFD) and a value file (DFX). Both parts can be combined in a common file (DFQ). The official reference is the [[https://documentation-be.hexagon.com/bundle/q-das/page/LD/Q-DAS_ASCII-Transfer-Format_V12.pdf|Q-DAS ASCII Transfer Format Manual]] (direct download of Hexagon Q-DAS). #@IC_HTML@# exports the partial test plans (a partial test plan contains all characteristics belonging to a drawing sheet) either to individual **DFD** files or combines them to one DFD file. > **Info** We recommend that you favor the JSONV1 format over the DFD format to connect to your software package. It includes more transferable information and supports all characteristics of #@IC_HTML@#.\\ \\ You can trigger the export in the start parameter file; see Configuration and Import > Startup Parameter File > [[en:infra-convert:dev:parameter#Export quality test plans and stamped drawings]]. \\ //**__Content__**//  • [[#File header]]\\  • [[#Characteristic data]]\\  • [[#Data types]]\\  • [[#Converting the classes]] \\ ===== File header ===== Contains general test plan data. The values are queried from the user interface during export. With the Pro version (and from program version 2.10.0), the test plan attributes can be defined in advance, saved and thus also exported on triggering via start parameter call. The file header is repeated at the beginning of each subtest plan for a merged file. > **See also** > User manual #@IC_HTML@# > Functions > Export > Export test plan > [[en:infra-convert:user:functions:cplanexport#Workflow|Workflow]] > > User manual #@IC_HTML@# > Settings > Settings > Administration > [[en:infra-convert:user:config:administration#"Additional attributes for test plan versions" group|"Additional attributes for test plan versions" group]] > > Configuration and import > "Settings" Parameter file > List of the settings > [[en:infra-convert:dev:settings#"Settings > Administration" menu|“Settings > Administration” menu]] K0100 41 K1001 930-1200-406-V2 K1002 930-1200-406-V2 K1004 Version 2 K1041 930-1200-406 K1042 25.11.2016 K1900 Special characteristics added |< 100% 12% 10% 20% 57% >| ^ Field ^ Type* ^ Max. number of characters ^ Field content ^ ^ K0100 | I | 5 | Total number of characteristics in the file | ^ K1001 | A | 30 | Part number | ^ K1002 | A | 80 | Part name | ^ K1004 | A | 20 | Version of the part | ^ K1041 | A | 30 | Drawing number | ^ K1042 | A | 20 | Version of the drawing | ^ K1900 | A | 255 | Comment | * See section on [[en:infra-convert:dev:export:dfd#Data types|data types]] \\ ===== Characteristic data ===== Contains all characteristics of the quality test plan in blocks.
