The SomatXR MXB modules are front end data sourcing modules that can be used
The data processor is designed to use Ethernet based PTPv2 protocol (IEEE1588) for time and data synchronization with MX modules and other peripherals. FireWire connections between MX modules are available and useful to simplify power distribution. When FireWire connections are used, timing and data synchronization between MX modules may or may not be based on the FireWire protocol.
CAUTION
All MXB modules in the system must have an Ethernet connection (either directly to the data processor or indirectly through an EX23-R). Connecting an MXB module to any other MXB module using FireWire without both having an Ethernet connection to the data processor can result in acquired data not being synchronized to the data processor on one or more MXB modules.
Decimal sample rates and Linear Phase FIR and Butterworth FIR digital filters that match the sample rates and digital filters in the eDAQ are available. However, the MXB modules do not phase align the Linear Phase FIR filters as the eDAQ does (i.e., the phase delay of the MXB Linear Phase FIR filters is dependent on the sample rate and digital filter characteristics). In addition, a comprehensive set of Butterworth IIR and Bessel IIR digital filters are available for use with the Decimal sample rates. The data processor also supports the traditional (Classic) HBM sample rates and IIR digital filters.
All SomatXR MXB modules can also be combined with MXB modules of the QuantumX (MXB...) and QuantumX-P (MX...-P) series and can be connected to the CX22 W data recorder and the CX27 Ethernet and EtherCAT gateway. For more information on using MXB modules in a standalone system with the catmanAP and MX Assistant software applications, refer to the MX Modules User Manual.
All MX modules have the following in common:
With amplifiers, the following applies for each measurement channel:
