The SomatXR MX modules are front end data sourcing modules that can be used
The CX23-R firmware always contains a copy of the latest required MX firmware version.
To update the MX firmware, navigate to the Hardware page in the Test configuration section of the CX23-R web interface. Select the MX module in the Hardware panel. Click the Update button in the Properties panel to start the firmware update process. Repeat the process for all connected MX modules. The CX23-R can update multiple MX modules at one time.
CAUTION
It may take several minutes for the MX module firmware update to complete. Do not reboot the CX23-R when MX firmware updates are in progress. Do not disconnect power to the MX module as this may render the MX module unusable.
When the firmware update is complete, the MX module reboots. It typically takes a few minutes for the MX module to synchronize with the CX23-R. Test runs cannot be started until all MX channels used in the test setup are synchronized.
The MX module sample rate domain can be either Decimal or Classic and must match that of the test setup, which is based on the System preferences when the test setup is created.
To set the module sample rate domain, navigate to the Hardware page in the Test configuration section of the CX23-R web interface. Select the MX module in the Hardware panel and set the Sample rate domain in the Properties panel to either Decimal or Classic. The MX module reboots automatically when this setting changes.
The sample rate domain controls the sample rates and associated digital filter types and frequencies when configuring input channels. The default setting is Decimal, which includes typical sample rates of 5000, 2500, 1000, and 500 Hz. In the Classic domain, typical nominal sample rates include 4800, 2400, 1200, and 600 Hz.
NOTE
The nominal Classic domain sample rates are used for convenience. The actual sample rates are approximately 260 ppm greater than the nominal sample rates. To find the exact sample rate, multiply the nominal sample rate by 8388608/8386425.
