Kit Makes Possible Reading And Writing Of TEDS Info To Sensors

Operating on a Windows PC via an RS-232 port, the Model 400A76 TEDS Sensor Interface Kit enables a user to read and write TEDS data in 16 IEEE TEDS templates and three templates established by LMS International. Providing the hardware and software required to interface with more TEDS sensors than previously available software interfaces, the kit consists of a 100-7158-20 RS-232 Hardware Interface Dongle, TEDS Read/Write software and a cable assembly. Transducers supported include acceler- ometers, microphones, charge amplifiers, and microphone preamplifiers. The kit represents an advanced implementation of IEEE P1451.4, a developing standard for mixed-mode sensors. The new software is powered by The Modal Shop’s latest TEDS encoding/decoding engine, enabling read/write access to sensors with 256 bits of memory. PCB PIEZOTRONICS INC., Depew, NY. (800) 828-8840.
