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.
TEDS sensors are shown in both the Hardware and Input channels pages.
NOTE
When a new MX module is connected or rebooted, the system runs through a TEDS discovery process indicated by the TEDS discovery icon (). This may take several seconds.
When a channel is added to a connector with a TEDS sensor connected, the channel parameters are configured based on the TEDS information. Channel parameters can be manually edited, which is indicated by the TEDS edited icon (). If a TEDS sensor is connected or disconnected that conflicts with an existing channel in the setup, the channel is shaded red.
To reset the channel parameters to the TEDS sensor definition, navigate to the Input channels page, select the channel and click TEDS.... In the TEDS options dialog window presented, select the Sync TEDS option and click OK.
In some situations, the user interface will identify TEDS conflicts that the user will want to resolve by not resetting channel parameters to the TEDS sensor definition. In this situation, select the Resolve TEDS conflict option and click OK.
Occasionally, there are errors in TEDS information, which is indicated by the TEDS error icon ().
