What the different between Energy dipersive X-ray EDX and EDS? Is that the results will differ if one of them has been selected, or the same results only change in device technology?
As far as I know EDX or EDAX (Energy dispersive X ray Analisys) or EDS (Energy dispersive Spectroscopy) refers to the same measurement: Energy resolved spectra of XRay coming from the sample where electrons impinged. A solid state detector is used,and the corresponding electronics gives a pulse, whose hight is proportional to the photon energy. A multichanel analyzer records all pulses (of course the detector has a characteristic efficiency, resolutio, noise...)
A different technique is WDS (wavelength dispersive Xray spectroscopy):
Accurate quantitative analysis below 500pppm
Less than 10eV resolution for resolving important overlaps like Sulfur/Molybdenum
Easily and unambiguously determines the distribution of all elements in a sample even where peaks overlap
Up to 100 times more sensitive than an EDS system for trace element detection
Most accurate elemental analysis available for SEM

Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry can be abbreviated as EDS, EDX or EDXS - all of the abbreviations have the same meaning. Some people even call it EDAX, but EDAX is the name of pioneering in this technology company.
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy has got several names like EDS, EDX, or XEDS sometimes it is also called energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) or energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA). It is a technique used for the elemental analysis or chemical characterization of a sample. EDAX is a company which is a provider materials characterization systems.
