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 .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 displays 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 Channel Setup page of the Test configuration section and add the desired MX module input channels.
To apply sensor configurations from imported HBM sensor databases, first expand the Sensors panel to the left hand side of the channels grid. 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.
Select the sensor definition from the Sensors panel and the desired channel or channels from the grid and click the blue arrow at the bottom of the Sensors panel to apply the definition to the selected channels. Alternately, drag and drop the sensor definition onto the desired channel.
When a sensor definition is successfully applied to a channel, this is indicated by the SDB sync icon () in the SDB column of the channels grid. Channel parameters can be manually edited, which is indicated by the SDB edited icon (
) in the SDB column. To reset the channel parameters to the applied database definition, select the channel and click
Sync SDB.
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.
