Administration & Configuration

The SF-ADA uses the configurations stored in AF Tables and Attribute categories to provide results. The required tables and categories are contained in a default XML library file (Sigmafine ADA.xml) in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Sigmafine\Library.Figure 1091: Sigmafine ADA Library

The Sigmafine ADA.xml library is also saved to your PIAF System library collection during the SF-ADA installation. The PIAF system library collection is saved to the directory you had selected when you selected the location for your AF Database library.

It is good practice to first load these default library files on your database, and then customize SF-ADA according to your requirements. All the customizations can be made using the AF Tables. There are also some toolbar buttons that allow you to customize the AF Tables without working directly on tables themselves. The following list describes each AF Table required for SF-ADA. For more details on a table and how to configure it, refer to the associated topic.

AF Tables

  • SFDiag_TableConfig – Sets up the Sigmafine Results table and how Attribute values are displayed. Please see AF Table: SFDiag_TableConfig for more details.
