ABSTRACT:
A device is disclosed for interfacing with a variety of transducer types to generate a measurement value of a certain property. The device has at least one sensor block that in turn has at least one sensor channel containing sensor circuitry. The sensor circuitry is configured to cooperate with a particular transducer to generate an electrical signal representing the property. Connected to the sensor block is a control block. The control block has configuration circuitry for enabling the sensor circuitry. Additionally, the control block contains conversion circuitry for converting the signal to the measurement value using a conversion equation. A user interface provides the means for inputting configuration information and outputting the measurement value. In one embodiment, the sensor block also contains a multiplicity of sensor channels and multiplexing circuitry for enabling the control block to address each sensor channel individually. The device may also have a plurality of circuits in each sensor circuit. The configuration circuitry enables a selection of these circuits according to the transducer used and the measurement desired. This embodiment may also have conversion circuitry that is responsive to the configuration circuitry such that the conversion equation relates to the selection.
