To simplify input channel configuration, the SomatXR system supports HBM sensor databases for MX modules.
To import an HBM sensor database file, a .sdbx text file must be created from the standard .sdb file using the MX Assistant. To create the .sdbx file:
Navigate to the Databases page in the System configuration section.
Browse for and select the desired .sdbx database file. The file can be located on any local or external device.
To begin the import process, click Import. Once imported, the new database appears in the databases list. Select the file from the list to display an overview of the database and the number of supported and unsupported sensors.
NOTE
Future CX23-R firmware versions may support more sensors. The HBM sensor database does not need to be re-imported to use newly supported sensors.
Navigate to the Input channels or Hardware pages of the Test configuration section.
To apply sensor configurations from imported HBM sensor databases, first expand the Sensors panel. The Sensors panel contains the imported sensor databases and their sensor definitions. For very large databases, it may take several seconds to display the database contents for the first time.
Drag and drop the sensor definition from the Sensors panel onto the desired channel.
When a sensor definition is successfully applied to a channel, this is indicated by the SDB sync icon (). Channel parameters can be manually edited, which is indicated by the SDB edited icon (
).
NOTE
Sensor database parameters can be applied to TEDS sensors. However, if the channel is re-synced to its TEDS parameters, the sensor database reference is removed.
