摘要： A modular detector (10) includes at least one module receiving port. Members of a plurality of modules (24) have a common form factor and are removably insertable into the port. The modules, when inserted, implement a selected communication, sensing or output function. One module can be removed and replaced with another thereby changing detector characteristics. A respective detector could have several ports to receive a plurality of insertable modules.
