S if applicable, the requisite excitation and electrical
power supply of the transducer
Additional information, that could be read using appropri
ate software, for example:
S transducer manufacturer, type, serial number etc.
S calibration date, recalibration interval, calibrator's ini
tials, etc.
The amplifiers in the QuantumX series are capable of
reading the transducer information stored in the data
sheet and automatically converting it into amplifier set
tings to enable rapid and safe measurement operation.
The electronic data sheet is read automatically as soon
as the transducer is connected to the device. The elec
trical bridge between two pins in the plug serves as the
"transducer identification". The amplifier switches auto
matically to the configured measurement mode after the
digital identification mode.
TEDS data can also be read with a software command,
for example with catman
®
AP.
All TEDS data can be read and edited with the TEDS
Editor, see section 3.6.
QuantumX supports several options for reading and writ
ing TEDS data:
S It is possible to access a TEDS module via two separ
ate cable wires ("one‐wire circuit") or retrofit TEDS in
the transducer connector.
S Amplifiers with direct connection of IEPE transducers
support TEDS Version 1.0.
S A special TEDS module is integrated in some HBM
transducers. It can transmit TEDS data via the feed
back line of a sensor (patented "zero‐wire circuit").
