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). You can download the “Q-DAS ASCII Transfer Format Manual” from the Q-DAS GmbH website.

infra CONVERT 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 infra CONVERT.

You can trigger the export in the start parameter file; see Configuration and Import > Startup Parameter File > Export quality test plans and stamped drawings.



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.

Characteristic data

Contains all characteristics of the quality test plan in blocks.

In accordance with the Q-DAS, the field key “KXXXX” contains the respective characteristic number by the addition in the form “/ XX”.
