TEDS Templates The TEDS template defines the memory mapping of the TEDS chip and hence the “understanding” between transducer and front end. A number of TEDS templates have been standardized by the IEEE and in addition to this, a number of non‐standard vendor specific templates exist. The different TEDS templates are differentiated by different ID numbers. See TEDS Microphones for a listing of the templates used with Brüel & Kjær microphones and preamplifiers. Ordering Transducers To order from Brüel & Kjær, you just need to know an item’s order number. For transducers and signal conditioners, these will be a...
