Safety instructions

1 Safety instructions

Appropriate use

The QuantumX Data Recorder is to be used exclusively
for measurement tasks and directly related control tasks
within the application limits detailed in the specifications.
Use for any purpose other than the above is deemed to
be non-designated use.

In the interests of safety, the module should only be oper
ated as described in the Operating Manuals. It is also es
sential to comply with the legal and safety requirements for
the application concerned during use. The same applies to
the use of accessories.

Each time you start up the module, you must first run a
project planning and risk analysis that takes into account
all the safety aspects of automation technology. This par
ticularly concerns personal and machine protection.

Additional safety precautions must be taken in plants
where malfunctions could cause major damage, loss of
data or even personal injury. In the event of a fault, these
precautions establish safe operating conditions.

This can be done, forexample, by mechanical
interlocking, error signaling, etc.

4 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Safety instructions

Notice

The module must not be connected directly to the power
supply system. Supply voltage DC 10 V … 30 V.
When modules are installed in a vehicle, we recommend
connection to a separate battery or integration of an unin
terruptible power supply (UPS), as battery voltage is par
ticularly likely to fall below 10 V when a combustion en
gine starts up, which would automatically cause the
modules to restart.

General dangers of failing to follow the safety
instructions

The QuantumX Data Recorder is state-of-the-art and fail
safe. The module may give rise to residual dangers if it is
inappropriately installed and operated by untrained
personnel.

Any person instructed to carry out installation, commis
sioning, maintenance or repair of the modules must have
read and understood the Operating Manuals and in par
ticular the technical safety instructions.

Conditions at the place of installation

S Protect the module from direct contact with water.

S Protect the module from dirt, moisture or weather con

ditions such as rain, snow, etc. The protection class
under the IP standard DIN EN60529 is IP20.

S Please observe the permissible maximum ambient

temperatures stated in the specifications.

S Make sure that the side ventilation openings are not

covered.

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 5

Safety instructions

S The permissible relative humidity at 31°C is 80% (non

S Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.

S Install the device so that it can be disconnected from

the mains at any time without difficulty.

S It is safe to operate the module up to a height of

2000 m.

Maintenance and cleaning

The modules are maintenance-free.

S Before cleaning, disconnect all connections.

S Clean the housing with a soft, slightly damp (not wet!)

cloth. Never use solvent, as this could damage the
label or the housing.

S When cleaning, ensure that no liquid gets into the

module or connections.

Residual dangers

The scope of supply and performance of the QuantumX
system covers only a small area of measurement tech
nology. In addition, equipment planners, installers and
operators should plan, implement and respond to the
safety engineering considerations of measurement tech
nology in such a way as to minimize residual dangers.
On-site regulations must be complied with at all times.

Product liability

In the following cases, the protection provided for the de
vice may be adversely affected. Liability for device func
tionality then passes to the operator:

S The device is not used in accordance with the operat

ing manual.

6 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Safety instructions

S The device is used outside the field of application

described in this chapter.

S The operator makes unauthorized changes to the de

vice.

Working safely
A device must not be directly connected to the power

supply system. Supply voltage DC 10 V … 30 V.

The supply connection and all other connections must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference
does not adversely affect device functionality (HBM rec
ommendation: "Greenline shielding design", download
able from the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/greenline).

Automation equipment and modules must be designed in
such a way that adequate protection or locking against
unintentional actuation is provided (e.g. access checks,
password protection, etc.).

When the modules are working in a network, these net
works must be designed in such a way that malfunctions
in individual nodes can be detected and shut down.

Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hard
ware and software, so that a line break or other interrup
tions to signal transmission, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data
in the automation device.

Conversions and modifications

The module must not be modified from the design or
safety engineering point of view except with our express
agreement. Any modification shall exclude all liability on
our part for any resultant damage.

In particular, any repair or soldering work on
motherboards (exchanging components) is prohibited.

Connections and displays

4.1 Voltage supply

Apply a supply voltage of DC 10 - 30 V to connector
X104 (see Fig. 5.1). Use a voltage supply with sufficient
power, in case the QuantumX modules connected to the
CX22B‒W or devices such as GPS sensors, cameras or
data memory directly connected to the unit also need to
be supplied with power.

The DC voltage supply must be a SELV voltage supply,
meeting the requirements of IEC / EN / DIN EN 609501.
The supply voltage must be protected by an adequate
DC fuse (e.g. LITTELFUSE KLKD 6, LFPHV001) with a
maximum current of 5 A.

Notice

When modules are installed in a vehicle, we recommend
connection to a separate battery or integration of an unin
terruptible power supply (UPS), as battery voltage is par
ticularly likely to fall below 10 V when a combustion en
gine starts up, which would automatically cause the
modules to restart.

HBM offers the NTX001 power supply for laboratory or
general steady-state operation. On the primary side, this
provides a selection of international connector types and
24 V and 30 watts on the secondary side. A CX22B‒W
and one additional module can be supplied in this way.
See the respective module data sheets for precise details
of performance.

The Data Recorder can also be supplied with voltage by
a (FireWire) module group.

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 17

Connections and displays

The data recorder hosts a small buffer battery (type
CR2032, lithium). This battery keeps date and time
during power interruptions. The battery shall only be
replaced by HBM service.

4.2 Ground connection and grounding

Lay the signal and data leads separately from current­carrying power lines. Cable ducts made of sheet metal
with an internal partition are ideal.

If there are differences in potential in or to the connected
measurement system, you must install a potential equal
ization line (recommended value: highly flexible stranded
wire, line cross-section 10mm2).

Important

4.3 Connection of QuantumX modules

The simplest way to connect measurement modules to
the CX22B‒W Data Recorder is via FireWire, or alterna
tively via Ethernet.

FireWire has the following advantages:

S Voltage supply, time synchronization, data communi

cation and real time in one cable and thus little effort
and low cost

S Every module has 2 FireWire connections, so flexible

topologies are possible: star, line or even hybrids with
an appropriate hub, also supplied with power via
FireWire.

Ethernet has the following advantages

18 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

4.8 Digital inputs and outputs

Three inputs are available at terminals 1, 2 and 3 and
three outputs at terminals 4, 5 and 6. The status of the
outputs is indicated by LEDs, see Section 4.10.4.10.

Inputs

The level for the inputs is 5 volts in the open state
(HIGH), as it is pulled up to HIGH by a pull-up resistor
(active LOW). The maximum LOW level for the inputs is

0.7 volts.

Outputs

The level for the outputs is 5 volts (HIGH), when the cor
responding output is set, otherwise 0 volts (LOW). The
inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible, the line lengths
at the outputs must not exceed 3 m.

Tip

At the start of a DAQ job, outputs are reset to LOW if in
catman[EASY, in the options for the CX22B‒W (system
group), you activate the setting Reset all CX22B‒W
digital outputs at the start of a DAQ job.

4.9 START/STOP button

You can start and/or stop a DAQ job with the START/
STOP button. To do this, use a trigger for starting and/or
stopping the DAQ job and assign CX22B‒W digital in
put 3 - START/STOP button as the trigger channel.

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 21

Connections and displays

If you control the start and stop of the DAQ job via the
button, the DAQ job is started with the first press and
stopped with the next press of the button.

The START/STOP button is switched parallel to the input
on terminal 3. If you want to use the button, do not con
nect input 3. Otherwise the "Active" (LOW) state will be
triggered by pressing the button and by a LOW signal at

Connecting QuantumX modules

5 Connecting QuantumX modules

The simplest way to connect QuantumX modules to the
Data Recorder is via FireWire. Connect cable
1-KAB272-x to any of the Data Recorder's connections
and the other end to connection X102 of the nearest
measurement module.

Then keep threading: connection X102 to X101 of the
second measurement module, etc. Remember the maxi
mum current of 1.5 A. As a rule, you must introduce a
voltage supply again after 3 modules. You can also con
nect measurement modules at the other connection.

Alternatively, you can connect all the QuantumX modules
to the CX22B‒W via Ethernet. If you have more than two
modules, you will also require an Ethernet switch.

In the configuration shown below, the module supply volt
age is looped through via FireWire (max. 1.5 A via
FireWire). The power consumption of a module is ex
plained in the data sheet.

You can connect up to 12 modules to the CX22B‒W
Data Recorder via FireWire, with a supply feed required
for at least every 4th module, with approximately the
same voltage value. The general QuantumX operating
manual contains more detailed data on this.

Connecting QuantumX modules

Important

If you are already using QuantumX modules and want to
connect them to a CX22B‒W Data Recorder, please up
date the device firmware. CatmanEASY checks the
firmware automatically and if necessary, prompts you to
update the firmware. The relevant firmware package is

Operating the Data Recorder

6 Operating the Data Recorder

6.1 Operation with monitor and keyboard/mouse

This type of operation is the simplest. It does not require
any configuration, but you will need a monitor with digital
input (DVI) and a mouse and keyboard with USB connec
tion.

Connect the mouse and keyboard to the USB sockets of
the CX22B‒W. The monitor is connected to the DVI
socket with a commercially available DVI monitor cable
(see Fig. 4.1 on Page 15 for all connections). Connection
via VGA is not possible, not even with a DVI/VGA
adapter plug, as the leads required for VGA are not as
signed.

Switch on the power supply and wait until the boot
process is complete and the module is ready.

Important

The CX22B‒W factory setting for input language (key
board layout) is EN (English). If you connect a keyboard
with a different layout, you should select Exit to Win
dows in the start screen and then press Shift and Alt, or
change the input language via the language bar in the
task bar.
If necessary, use the Windows control panel ("Regional
and Language Options") to set the Location) to your
country. The setting influences the digit settings and the
time, for example.

Make other settings via the Data Recorder start screen.

Operating the Data Recorder

Initial start-up

The pre-installed catmanEasy software can be updated
free of charge for 12 months from the date of delivery. To
run an update, you must first register with HBM, in order
to benefit from software maintenance. To do this, simply
send us the registration file created during initial start-up.
This contains the software license number and the
device serial number.

You can do this later at any time via the catman soft
ware.

6.2 Operation via a PC

In this case, the CX22B‒W Data Recorder is connected
to the PC via Ethernet. There are different variants, de
pending on your PC/network configuration, and the
procedure used to set up the connection depends on the
variant:

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 31

Operating the Data Recorder

S The CX22B‒W and PC are connected directly via an

Ethernet cable.

S The CX22B‒W Data Recorder is connected to an Eth

ernet network (the network configuration is usually
assigned automatically via DHCP, Dynamic Host Con
figuration Protocol).

For a detailed description, see Section 6.2.2, Page .

S The CX22B‒W Data Recorder is connected via

WLAN (ad‐hoc to a PC or hotspot integration into lo
cal area network-LAN).

Wait approx. 1 minute after switching on the CX22B‒W
before setting up a connection so that the boot process is
complete and the module is ready. Otherwise you may
receive an error message that the device could not be
found.

Important

To make it easier to set up a connection when the
CX22B‒W settings are unknown, use the HBM program
HBM Device Scan, which is part of the system software
and included in the package as a DVD. It is also available
to download from (www.hbm.com -> Support -> Down
loads).

You can also set up a direct remote desktop connection
(standard program of the Windows operating system).
You need to know the IP address of the device to do this.
The device is delivered with factory settings and DHCP.
So you must use the "HBM Device Scan" software for
the initial start-up at least, or work with the direct periph
erals.

6.2.3 Connection via WLAN

The connection via WLAN can be implemented in two
different ways:

► You can set up a direct connection to the CX22B‒W

wirelessly from your PC or tablet. This type of connec
tion is known as an Adhoc network .

► You can integrate the CX22B‒W into an existing wire

less network. This requires a configured Access Point
and information regarding the network name, login
and password.

Setting up the CX22B‒W for Adhoc operation
► Make the following setting: Activate WLAN Adhoc

connection on startup

► Save the changes permanently (the Data Recorder is

rebooted after this action. The WLAN connection that
was previously set-up is lost).

► You can then remove the network cable and use your

PC to find the CX22B‒W wireless network and con
nect to it.

40 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Operating the Data Recorder

► Now use the HBM Device Manager tool to set up an

Adhoc connection to the CX22B‒W.

Configuring the CX22B‒W for an Access Point

► To set up the wireless connection, you must first cre

ate access to the CX22B‒W. This is done convention
ally with a monitor and keyboard or remotely via the
LAN cable.

► Exit to Windows and click on the small pictogram at

the bottom right.

► Connect to the network and if necessary, enter the

network key. We recommend that you always work
with encryption (WPA2) and never use unsecured
networks.

► Save the changes permanently (the Data Recorder is

rebooted after this action. The WLAN connection that
was previously set-up is lost).

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 41

Operating the Data Recorder

If setting up the connection in the Adhoc network takes
too long, you can also assign permanent IP addresses
for the CX22B‒W and PC. The connection will then be
set up faster.

6.2.4 Connection via a tablet

Apple computers, smartphones or tablet PCs can also
set up a connection to the CX22B‒W. This is on condi
tion that a suitable program is installed on the particular
device. The screen resolution should be 1000 x 750
pixels, as otherwise only parts of the CX22B‒W Data
Recorder screen will be visible and you will have to keep
moving the pane.

For Intel‐based Macs, use the Microsoft
"Remote Desktop Connection Client" program (available
as a free download from the Microsoft website).

Tip

For other operating systems, there are numerous pro
grams for setting up a remote desktop connection to a
Windows PC, such as the Remote Desktop for Mobiles
RDM+ program for BlackBerry, Android or iPad.

Procedure

► Enter the IP address of the CX22B‒W.
► Click on Connect.

Configuration of remote desktop

The HBM Device Manager program uses a minimal re
mote desktop configuration, that allows only the
CX22B‒W screen to be displayed on your PC. You can
fully configure a remote desktop connection, so that you
can also directly use your PC drives on the CX22B‒W,

6.4 Detecting and resolving connection

If the CX22B‒W does not appear in the HBM Device
Manager list, or the setup of the remote desktop connec
tion is canceled, there are several possible causes.

Check the following points and then repeat the search:

S Has the CX22B‒W been switched on for at least 1

minute and is the module LED green.

S Is the Ethernet switch working properly?

If you cannot check functionality because you are not
operating any other devices on the switch, try to set
up a direct connection between the PC and the
CX22B‒W.

S Have you waited long enough for the PC to specify its

address?

If the PC cannot find a server in the network, the
search for the server looks in the "DHCP" settings
(Obtain an IP address automatically) and the "Alterna
tive configuration" (user-defined address) first of all
(the symbol for the interface in the Windows tray indi
cates the search, but the symbol may only appear if
the display is configured). It then takes about 20 to 30
seconds to set an automatic address (in DHCP) or the
stated alternative address. During this time, a scan
has not found a CX22B‒W either.

problems

S Could your firewall be responsible for blocking the

UDP scan?

Try deactivating your firewall or enable the following
TCP ports: 31416 & 31417

S Could your antivirus program be responsible for block

ing the UDP scan?

48 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Operating the Data Recorder

Try deactivating your antivirus protection to locate the
cause. If the CX22B‒W can then be found, read your
antivirus program documentation to discover how to
enable individual programs to access the network
(local subnet). You must enable the same ports as
those described under the firewall.

S If a WLAN is also active in your PC, you must test

whether the module can be found when you
temporarily switch off the WLAN (just for the search
period). With some WLAN configurations, problems
can occur across all interfaces during a scan.

S If your PC has several Ethernet interfaces, try

deactivating all the other Ethernet interfaces.

S If the HBM Device Manager cannot find the

CX22B‒W, try setting up a "standard" remote desktop
connection.

S If you are using the CX22B‒W in a larger network,

contact your network administrator. There are a series
of options in managed networks to limit or completely
prevent data transmission between the individual
nodes. Administrative enabling may also be
necessary here.

6.5 Using Ethernet and WLAN in parallel

With the CX22B‒W Data Recorder, you can connect
modules via Ethernet and also connect your PC to the
CX22B‒W via Ethernet. But you can also connect the
modules via Ethernet and your PC to the CX22B‒W via
WLAN. The following combinations are possible, in addi
tion to connecting the modules via FireWire:

S Connect PC to CX22B‒W via Ethernet, connect

modules via the WLAN hub.

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 49

8.1 Creating a DAQ job

A DAQ project contains all the settings for the devices,
transducers (sensors) and calculations used, how the
measurement is to be carried out, and which data should
be visualized online and saved.

Setting up DAQ channels

If you are not using transducers with TEDS (Transducer
Electronic Data Sheet) assign the connected sensors

(transducers) to the channels: find your sensors in the
sensor list (Sensor database component window), then
drag&drop each sensor to the channel to which it is con
nected. Set up your sensors in the sensor database, as
required.

Assign unique channel names

You can generate channel names with sequential
numbering or accept the sensor designation via the Re
name context menu. In catmanEASY, each channel is
identified by its name, so you must use meaningful
names where possible.

► Mark the channels to be set to zero and run a zero

balance (zero balance, group zero balance).

General default settings, data storage and
directories

You should also consider whether additional directories
should be specified as default settings, and how to pro
ceed with the sensor database.

Procedure for directories

► In the catmanEASY start window, click on Addi

tional options.

► Use System −> Folders to specify the default

directories for your data and images. Set up additional
folders, e.g. "E:\Projects".

The settings are only used the first time the data or
images are saved, after this, catmanEASY always
retains the last folder used.

► If you want to carry out a great many calculations with

vast data sets, and a sizable CFast card has been
installed, also create the catman working directory on
drive E:, e. g. "E:\HBM\catWorkingDir".

Sensor database

The sensor database is an easy way to adjust the mea
suring chain to the sensor being used. You only need to
enter the characteristic values of a sensor once, after
which you can click to assign the sensor to the channel
to which it is connected. The device is then set to the
characteristic values of this transducer.

In the default setting (condition at the time of delivery) an
English sensor database is used once catman is
launched. But you can switch this to a German or French
language database. To do this, you first have to change
the language in the settings and then launch catman.

56 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

The first DAQ job with catmanEASY

The data are identical, it is just the sensor group names
that are in the respective languages.

Procedure for modifying the sensor database

► In catmanEASY, use the Sensor database context

tab and the File menu to load the relevant sensor
database from the installation directory "C:\Program
Files (x86)\HBM\catmanEasy_DE\" or "C:\Program
Files (x86)\HBM\catmanEasy_FR\".

► Save this sensor database under a different name to

drive D or E, and open it again. catman EASY will
automatically save the new path and file name and
use it the next time the program is launched.

If you want to keep the English version, merely save it
under a different name to drive D or E.

Use a different name if possible, as a sensor database
called HBM_SensorDatabase.sdb could be overwritten
when the system is updated (although you will be asked
whether this should happen). Import a new sensor
database to your sensor database to incorporate new

All these functions are not included in catman Easy,
which comes with the CX22B. They need an additional
EasyMonitoring license or a catman®AP license.

- Parallel data recorders

A data recorder is similar to a DAQ job in that is has its
own start/stop conditions, storage file and other settings.
But while ordinary DAQ jobs can not run in parallel,
recorders can do this! A good example for the use of
recorders is the monitoring of a railway bridge, where
each of two tracks should be monitored separately.

A data recorder always belongs to a normal DAQ job.
This DAQ job is the "parent" or "base" job for the
recorders. Each base job can have a subset of up to 15
data recorders where each recorder runs a separate and
independent data storage process based upon individual
start/stop trigger conditions. It has its own set of
channels to be recorded and individual sample rates
including downsampling. Recordings can be repeated,
i.e. after one recording the recorder again starts waiting

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 61

The first DAQ job with catmanEASY

for a trigger. Each recorder generates its own data file
and also supports FTP upload.

If a base job containing recorders is launched (i.e. when
you click the green arrow symbol) the recorder objects
are created and put into "Waiting for start trigger" state.
To view the recorder statuses a separate window, called
the "Recorder console" will be shown.

- (S)FTP upload

Data files generated after a DAQ job can be automati
cally uploaded to an FTP server. SFTP with authentifica
tion and data encryption is supported. The FTP upload
runs asynchronously in the background so it does not
block further DAQ jobs. If a DAQ job contains video cap
ture the video files can also be uploaded. FTP configura
tion is part of the DAQ job settings, register tab "Remote
data storage".

- Push‐Notifications

Push notifications are short messages which can be
send via the HBM Push Server (a service offered by
HBM in the Internet) to any mobile smart device (e.g.
iPhone, Android based devices) worldwide. On the
mobile device you only need to install the HBM Push App
("HBM Push") which you can download from the App
Store (e.g. Google Play Store for android based devices
or Apple App Store for iPhone or iPad). Push notifica
tions are especially useful in unattended monitoring appli
cations, e.g. to observe signals crossing a certain level.
catman can send push notifications either event driven
(see Event monitoring) or via EasyScript. The message
may contain placeholders (e.g. a measurement value or
the name of the channel triggering the event). For more
information about this module, please see the knowledge
base of catman.

Configuring the CX22B‒W for self-contained measurements

9 Configuring the CX22B‒W for self-contained

measurements

Catman can be launched via the start screen (Settings
button).

Fig. 9.1 CX22 catman start‐up settings

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 63

Configuring the CX22B‒W for self-contained measurements

Settings must be made in two areas to configure the
CX22B‒W for self-contained measurement:

S You must make the applicable settings in DAQ jobs

and options in catmanEASY so that catmanEASY
loads a DAQ project and launches the DAQ job after
startup.

S You must ensure that catmanEASY starts when the

CX22B‒W is switched on.

As usual, measurement can be started and stopped
immediately, or via a trigger. But you can also use the
START/STOP button of the CX22B‒W, see Section 4.9
on Page 21.

Procedure

► Configure your DAQ project as described in Section

8.1. Set up the DAQ jobs so that the data are saved

with the Automatically on DAQ termination setting
(Data saving in the Settings group, Data storage
parameter).

► Save the DAQ project.

► Call up the catmanEASY options (file menu) and go

to Program start (System group).

► For Start mode, select an Existing DAQ project and

choose the project created above in the DAQ project
line.

► Activate the option Execute first DAQ job automati

cally.

► Go to DAQ channels in the Channels and sensors

group.

► Activate the option Automatically deactivate faulty

channels and continue measurement (behavior if
channel initialization fails).

64 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Configuring the CX22B‒W for self-contained measurements

► Exit the dialog by clicking on OK.

► Exit catmanEASY.
► In the start screen, click on Settings.
► On the General tab, activate the option Launch DAQ

software (catmanEASY) at CX22B‒W startup and
click on OK.

► Click on Commit changes and reboot to perma

nently save the new settings.

This project will then start automatically the next time the
CX22B‒W is switched on. If the power supply is inter
rupted during measurement, the project will be reloaded
and measurement continued when the power supply is
restored. The module restart, up to the continuation of
measurement, will require approx. 3 minutes, depending
on the number of connected devices and channels.

Important

The data already present in the catman[EASY tempo
rary measurement data memory are not lost if the power
supply is interrupted. Any additional files will be assigned
a counter at the end of the file name.

allocated as follows:

S 16 GByte are used for the operating system and are

specifically protected against (unintentional) change
(partition C, EWF filter).

Important

All changes made in partition C: are only temporary, as
this partition is protected against change (EWF,
see Section 10.4). In the start screen, click on Commit
changes and reboot, to permanently save the new set
tings or the newly installed software. The CX22B‒W is
then rebooted, so you must set up the connection again
after the restart.

66 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Saving data on the Data Recorder

Important

Only ever save the measurement data to the internal
SSD (partition D), the removable CFast card or to mem
ory connected via USB. Data storage to the removable
CFast card and checking the quality of the storage
medium at regular intervals is recommended.

Important

CFast cards only have a limited number of write cycles,
i.e., they age (typically 1,000,000 write
cycles). You should therefore check the CF card regu
larly for errors in Windows and replace with a new card
where necessary. The life of a CF card depends on the
demands made on it, and the manufacturer.
Make sure that you use an up-to-date, high-quality
CFast, in order to achieve a high data transfer rate.

The scope of supply for the CX22B‒W Data Recorder
includes an 8GByte CF card, although cards with a
higher memory capacity can also be used (for example
64, 128, 256 or 512 GB).

Saving data on the Data Recorder

10.2 Removing and inserting the CFast

memory card

Notice

Do not replace the CFast when data are being written to
it. If this is combined with a sudden loss of power, the
memory card or the device could be damaged, or − if
measurement data are being recorded − all the data of
the test could be lost. When operation is ongoing, the
memory card can be disabled under Windows. It is best
to switch off the CX22B‒W before replacing the CFast.

► Undo the retaining screw for the CFast. The screw

must not be removed, it should just be loosened.

► Swivel the cover plate upwards to expose the slot for

the CFast.

► Press on the memory card with your finger to remove

it.

► Hold the CFast with the top facing upwards and slide

it into the slot until the memory card engages. The
CFast must disappear completely inside the slot.

► Swivel the cover plate downwards and secure the

card.

► Tighten the retaining screw by hand.

68 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

Saving data on the Data Recorder

Important

In the factory settings, the measurement data on the
removable CFast medium is written to Drive\Data and
enabled in the network as "External CFast data". Some
catman

[

EASY default directories are also set to this

directory.
So also create the directory on the new CFast. Enabling
is not necessary for working with catman[EASY .

Saving data on the Data Recorder

As a rough guideline, data throughput should be calcu
lated in MByte/s. A signal (sample) can be calculated
with 8 bytes. The opportunity is also available to experi
mentally check whether the chosen configuration works.
Diagnostic options are available via the lower status bar
in catman, to gain an overview of processor and memory
utilization at the start of acquisition.

10.4 EWF, safeguarding your settings

against change

The program called EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) pre
vents the files on partition C: being (unintentionally)
changed or overwritten. This could happen, for example,
if the voltage supply fails and Windows is not properly
shut down. In this situation, the program always restores
the "previous" state when the CX22B‒W is next switched
on.

All the data or programs saved on C: are therefore only
stored temporarily, and are deleted again once the sys
tem is switched back on.

If you want to permanently save settings or programs on
C:, you must use Commit changes and reboot in the
start screen ("CX22Shell"). Changes will then be perma
nently applied and will also be available the next time you
restart the CX22B‒W.

Operating the CX22B/CX22B-W as gateway

11 Operating the CX22B/CX22B-W as gateway

11.1 Description

The gateway mode allows to route QuantumX modules
that are connected via firewire to other network adapters
of the CX22B-W (e.g. ethernet or WLAN). In this mode,
the data recorder acts like any other gateway module
such as the CX27B, however, with higher data through
put.

Important

When the CX22B-W is in gateway mode, it cannot be
used as a recorder. This means that catman shall not run
on the recorder while the CX22B-W is configured in gate
way mode.

11.2 Activate/deactivate gateway mode

To activate/deactivate the gateway mode, go in the Shell
settings of the CX22B-W into the "General" tab. Check
the option "Activate gateway functionality" to activate the
option and uncheck it to deactivate it.

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 71

System settings, update and recovery

12 System settings, update and recovery

12.1 Installing drivers

Drivers, for USB peripherals, for example, can be
installed at any time. Although the installation of other
software packages is also possible in principle, we do not
recommend this on a large scale, in order not to endan
ger the stability of the CX22B‒W Data Recorder. If addi
tional software is installed, the functionality of the
CX22B‒W Data Recorder can no longer be guaranteed
and HBM can no longer provide support for any faults
arising in this connection.

In practice, drivers have already been successfully
installed and operated for the following terminal equip
ment: touchscreen (plus touch keyboard), camera (e.g.
Logitech), GPS (Navilock), FTP service (TurboFTP with
AutoStart and transfer of DAQ files to a central cloud
server, Winscp, GoodSync, allwaysync, watchDirectory
Professional).

Important

Changes to the system must be permanently saved
before restarting. To do this, click on Commit changes
and reboot in the start screen.
Also see EWF, Chapter 10.4 on Page 70.

Store the password safely after changing it. If you lose it
you will need to restore the system to obtain access to
the CX22B‒W again.

The Info tab contains information about the CX22B hard
ware (ID), the device serial number and the firmware ver
sion.

12.3 Updating the software

You can update catmanEASY only, or enable additional
function packages such as EasyVideo, EasyRoadLoad
and EasyScript or a full catmanAP at any time, if you

CX22B / CX22B-W A3169-8.0 HBM: public 77

System settings, update and recovery

have the relevant license key available. Please install the
software from a USB flash drive or from a network drive.

You can also update the MX Assistant software at any
time.

12.4 System restoration (Recovery)

If the changes you have made to the system result in the
system becoming inoperable, you can restore the deliv
ery condition of the system. Neither the data saved on
the removable CFast nor partition D: of the internal mem
ory with catmanEASY defaults will be overwritten during
recovery. To restore the system, you will need a specially
prepared bootable USB flash drive, a keyboard and,
where possible, a (digital) monitor that you can connect
directly to the CX22B‒W (DVI output). Please contact
our support site (http://www.hbm.com/support).

12.5 Potential sources of error and

remedial action

Long Ethernet cables

There are certain cases when there might be problem
setting up a connection with the installed Intel i210
Ethernet controller. The controller generates a link pulse,
which is required to set up the connection, but not com
pliant with the Ethernet specification. If you experience
problems, the network search (scan) will not function.

78 A3169-8.0 HBM: public CX22B / CX22B-W

System settings, update and recovery

Sensor failure or removing a sensor during
measuring mode

You have the option to configure catman so that the sig
nal value assumes the value you have preset and an
entry is written in the logbook.

Module decoupled

A module or an entire module string may become
detached, particularly in the distributed module group,
e.g. in trains. You have the option to configure catman so
that measurement continues or is canceled.

Sicherheitshinweise

Hinweis

Ein Modul darf nicht unmittelbar ans Stromversorgungs
netz angeschlossen werden. Die Versorgungsspannung
darf DC 10 V ... 30 V betragen.
Bei im Fahrzeug verbauten Modulen empfehlen wir den
Anschluss an eine separate Batterie oder die Integration
einer Unterbrechungsfreien Stromversorgung (USV), da
vor allem beim Start eines Verbrennungsmotors die
Batteriespannung unter 10 V fallen kann und damit die
Module automatisch einen Neustart ausführen.

Allgemeine Gefahren bei Nichtbeachten der
Sicherheitshinweise

Der QuantumX‐Datenrekorder entspricht dem Stand der
Technik und ist betriebssicher. Von dem Modul können
Restgefahren ausgehen, wenn es von ungeschultem
