In addition, valuable metadata such as calibration data is provided which is
important to the traceability of measurements or tests. The electronic data
sheet may be located in the transducer or connector plug.
The function and working method of TEDS are defined in Standard
IEEE1451.4.
QuantumX MX840A
Data mode
Measurement mode
Transducer with TEDS module, for example
U93
Transducer information stored in the TEDS data memory:
S physical unit of the measured quantity (N for force, for example) and the
measuring range
S the unit of the electrical output signal (mV/V for bridge transducers, for ex
ample)
S the linear characteristics as the relation between the measured quantity and
the electrical signal
S if applicable, the requisite excitation and electrical power supply of the
transducer
Additional information, that could be read using appropriate software, for ex
ample:
S transducer manufacturer, type, serial number etc.
S calibration date, recalibration interval, calibrator's initials, etc.
The amplifiers in the QuantumX series are capable of reading the transducer
information stored in the data sheet and automatically converting it into ampli
fier settings 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 electrical bridge between two pins in the plug
