Abstract
In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a dongle for a sensor system can include a pass-through signal carrier configured to allow signals from a sensor discretely associated with the dongle to pass through the dongle to a data concentrator via a first connection, and a non-volatile memory configured to connect to the data concentrator via a second connection. The nonvolatile memory can include calibration data for the sensor that is associated with the dongle.
Claims10
A sensor system, comprising:
- a passive sensor configured to provide a response to an interrogation signal, the response including a serial number corresponding to the sensor, wherein the serial number is encoded in the passive sensor by modifying a physical characteristic of the sensor;
- and
- a dongle discretely associated with the sensor and configured to connect to the sensor, the dongle comprising:
- a pass-through signal carrier configured to allow signals from the sensor to pass through the dongle to a data concentrator via a first connection;
- and
- a non-volatile memory configured to connect to the data concentrator via a second connection, wherein the nonvolatile memory includes the serial number for identifying the sensor and calibration data for the sensor.
