3.3 Configuring MX modules for use with the CX23-R
The SomatXR MXB modules are front end data sourcing modules that can be used
as expansion modules with the SomatXR/eDAQXR data processor or the
catmanAP and MX Assistant software applications.
They are configurable to interface to a diverse range of transducers and sensors.
Generic features for most MX modules include precision measurement capabilities
using 24 bit ADCs, TEDS sensor support and multiple digital filtering options. All
MXB modules have a similar back panel with a power connector, two FireWire
connectors and one Ethernet connector.
Updating MX firmware
The CX23-R firmware always contains a copy of the latest required MX firmware
version.
To update the MX firmware, navigate to the Hardware page in the Test configuration
section of the CX23-R web interface. Select the MX module in the Hardware panel.
Click the Update button in the Properties panel to start the firmware update process.
Repeat the process for all connected MX modules. The CX23-R can update multiple
MX modules at one time.
CAUTION
It may take several minutes for the MX module firmware update to complete. Do
not reboot the CX23-R when MX firmware updates are in progress. Do not
disconnect power to the MX module as this may render the MX module unusable.
When the firmware update is complete, the MX module reboots. It typically takes a
few minutes for the MX module to synchronize with the CX23-R. Test runs cannot
be started until all MX channels used in the test setup are synchronized.
Changing the sample rate domain
The MX module sample rate domain can be either Decimal or Classic and must
match that of the test setup, which is based on the
test setup is created.
