EDS Files (Electronic Data Sheet Files) Introduction
An Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) provides information necessary to access and alter the configurable
parameters of a device. An Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) is an external file that contains information
about configurable attributes for the device, including object addresses of each parameter.
The application objects in a device represent the destination addresses for configuration data. These
addresses are encoded in the EDS. The figure below shows a general block diagram of a sample EDS.
