5.8.1.3 Sensor database
The simplest way to avoid repetitiously setting sensors is to build a database into the measurement
device which contains all information about the sensor. imc's sensor database imc SENSORS is the ideal
counterpart for Plug & Measure. How the database, TEDS and imc Devices work in concert is described in
the manual imc Devices. For details on the sensor database, see the manual imc SENSORS.
Setting a measurement device with a single configuration command
The measurement device independently adopts the appropriate settings upon receiving a single
configuration command. All information relevant to settings is recorded in the sensor's TEDS. If the
configuration command "Configure System" is called, then all the data needed for making the device's
settings are read out of the respective EEPROMS assigned to the sensors and the measurement device,
including its signal conditioning, is correctly configured. Of course, there are parameters, which are to be
set in the device itself, but which also can be saved to the sensor-TEDS. These include the measurement
duration or the location for data storage. And of course, a user's interface is still needed, by which the
sensor's settings data can be subsequently edited.
Structure of a sensor clip
A measurement device with sensors and clips connected
Another great advantage would result from the ability to not only retrofit sensors with TEDS but to also
to file sensor characteristics in a database. However, this requires a PC having the appropriate database
for making settings to the measurement device.
