Abstract
A method includes reading a digital signal from a sensing device in an area of a structure, where the digital signal is configured to be present periodically. A trailing edge of the digital signal is determined. An analog signal from the sensing device is read, where the analog signal includes an output from a sensor included in the sensing device, and where the sensor is configured to detect an aspect of an environment. The analog signal is read after the trailing edge of the digital signal.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- reading a digital signal from a sensing device in an area of a structure, wherein the digital signal is configured to be present periodically;
- determining a trailing edge of the digital signal;
- and
- reading an analog signal from the sensing device, wherein the analog signal comprises an output from a sensor included in the sensing device, wherein the sensor is configured to detect an aspect of an environment, and wherein the analog signal is read after the trailing edge of the digital signal.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions comprise:
- instructions to read a digital signal from a sensing device in an area of a structure, wherein the digital signal is configured to be present periodically;
- instructions to determine a trailing edge of the digital signal;
- and
- instructions to read an analog signal from the sensing device, wherein the analog signal comprises an output from a sensor included in the sensing device, wherein the sensor is configured to detect an aspect of an environment, and wherein the analog signal is read after the trailing edge of the digital signal.
A device comprising:
