TEDS Sensors

To simplify input channel configuration, SomatXR MX modules support TEDS sensors.

NOTE
TEDS sensors can be programmed using HBM catman®AP or MX Assistant. For more information, refer to the software documentation.

To view the channels with TEDS sensors connected, navigate to the Hardware page in the Test configuration section. Select an MX module to display which connectors have a TEDS sensor connected.

When an MX channel with a TEDS sensor is added to the test setup, the channel parameters are configured based on the TEDS information, which is indicated by the TEDS sync icon () in the TEDS column of the channels grid.

Channel parameters can be manually edited, which is indicated by the TEDS edited icon () in the TEDS column. To reset the channel parameters to TEDS sensor definition, select the channel and click Sync TEDS.

If a TEDS sensor is connected that conflicts with an existing channel in the setup, the channel is shaded red. To use the TEDS information to configure the sensor, click the Sync TEDS button.

When a test is running, TEDS discovery is disabled to preclude the possibility of an TEDS edited channel being synced. When a test run stops, TEDS discovery is re-enabled which may take several seconds.

TIP
By default, the TEDS enabled option in System Preferences is selected. If the measurement system does not include any TEDS sensors, it is recommended that this option be disabled to eliminate the short delay that occurs when TEDS discovery is enabled after a test run. Disabling TEDS discovery is indicated by the TEDS disabled icon () in the TEDS column of the channels grid.

Occasionally, there are errors in TEDS information, which is indicated by the TEDS error icon () in the channels grid.
