Virtual, or software, TEDS (also part of the IEEE P1451.4
specification)—Obtains sensor information from a vendor Web site,
instead of an EEPROM. The information is free and does not require a
hardware upgrade. However, you must manually select the correct
channel and sensor.
The following resources provide additional information about
IEEE P1451.4 TEDS-compatible smart sensors:

SC-2350 carrier, refer to the
SCC Quick Start Guide

Importing TEDS Information
To import smart hardware TEDS sensor information into MAX, first install
and configure the SCC modules. Refer to the
SCC Quick Start Guide
for
more information about how to install and configure the SCC modules.
If your system has smart hardware TEDS, MAX automatically scans and
maps the TEDS sensor information into MAX. If MAX finds a TEDS
associated with the SCC module, the LED lights up as shown in Figure 1-4.
If you later add SCC modules to your system that have TEDS-compatible
sensors physically wired to them, click
Scan for TEDS
to import the TEDS
sensor information into MAX and refresh the configuration tree.
