How Do I Create a Virtual TEDS for My Transducer or Sensor?Primary Software: Primary Software Version: 8.2 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A Hardware: Multifunction DAQ (MIO)
Problem: I have a custom sensor with no available Virtual TEDS to download. How can I create a Virtual TEDS for use with this sensor in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and LabVIEW? Solution: If no TEDS are available for your sensor, and you do not know the manufacturer of your sensor or have a custom sensor follow the instructions below to create a virtual TEDS file. First download the IEEE standards TEDS templates attached below for various sensor types. (virtual TEDS_IEEE_Templates.zip) Unzip this file to your working directory or your virtual TEDS project folder. These templates allow you to configure different parameters according to the IEEE standards for creating the virtual TEDS files. The IEEE templates included are:
Create a block diagram similar to the figure below. To do this you will need the TEDS VI Library. This library can be downloaded to be installed into LabVIEW here. NOTE: This library was written in LabVIEW 7.1 and may not work in newer versions of LabVIEW.
