摘要： A generic transducer interface includes a hardware connector, such as a pin connector, with connection points for electrically connecting to a transducer, a control, a non-volatile memory for storing firmware used to configure the control, and a wired/wireless communication interface. The firmware indicates pre-assigned functions of the connection points, as well as providing: (a) data processing services, which perform operations on data elements from the transducers to obtain results which are reported to an external host, (b) data reporting and reception services, which include a data reporting protocol for reporting data from the transducers to the host, and a data receiving protocol for receiving data from the host, and (c) transducer management services, which allow retrieval and reconfiguration of transducer-specific properties. Transducer-specific configuration data received from the external host configures the control with the information it needs to act as an interface for a particular transducer.
