Where did you see this?

 Could it be related to ATEX or intrinsically safe?

[Paul_Klisiewicz]

config setting for data aq from accelerometer

asks for iex source and value

iex source is either internal or external and is a current source

I was just wondering what the acronym stood for as i couldnt find it anywhere

Probably "internal excitation".  That or Current Excitation since the symbol for current is "I".

[Paul_Klisiewicz]

very well may be.  

thanks

I'm pretty sure it is Current Excitation.

I'm with crossrulz on this one. I've usually seen Iex in reference to bridge circuits where excitation current/voltage is common.
