Data Format / AQDEF
Q-DAS ASCII transfer format
The advantages of using the same data format throughout your company are self-evident: measurement data from a variety of measurement systems can be centralized without complications, allowing for consistent data management and analysis. It is also the best way to compare company-wide results, since data need not be converted, which reduces the scope for errors.

It is also the best way to compare company-wide results, since data need not be converted, which reduces the scope for errors.
This is even more effective when the measurement system manufacturer has had the Q DAS data format certified. Thanks to the successful use of this data format, a number of large companies have decided to insist on the mandatory use of this format when ordering new measurement systems.

It is the goal of the working group to reduce the effort for both measurement system manufacturers and end-customers by combining the requirements of multiple specifications for interfaces and data formats into one.
Requests / proposals relating to AQDEF
The work group is open for any questions and proposals. The representatives of the Q-DAS company will suggest them to the work group. Please make your enquiries in English or German, if possible.

It describes quality data in a structured form. QML is based on XML technology and conforms to the standard set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). In addition to the recognized Q-DAS ASCII transfer format, with QML Q-DAS is going to support a format for XML oriented data display.
The format itself is defined through the QML schema (XML schema file) which describes the elements allowed in a valid file containing data in XML format. A validation run of the data file against the schema file allows early recognition and localization of errors in the transfer data.
