Creating new, user-defined measurement types
**Each measurement is described by a set of parameters**. Some of them are mandatory and must be present in each type definition. These are: File, Path and measurement Date. There are also other parameters that may be used to describe a measurement of a given type. A user defines the parameter set. It may consists of up to twenty floating point, double precision numbers, up to ten long integers, two Boolean parameters, two strings of up to 255 characters each, an additional date parameter and a text parameter of virtually unlimited length (~65000 characters).
There is a screen ‘Measurement Types & Parameters’ called through the [View|Measurement Definition...] main menu command, which is used to inspect, modify and add new measurement types into the base.

variables to measure


Explanation:
The context supplied doesn't make it sufficiently clear. "Die Auswahl der Messparameter" might simply mean the choice of what to measure; in that case I would translate Messparameter (plural in this case) as "variables to measure". It might mean the choice of some associated data such as the time, place and precision; in that case "measurement parameters" would be more appropriate.
