Abstract
Provided is a sensor terminal including a sensor element, the sensor terminal further including: an ADC that converts an analog signal output from a sensor element into a digital signal; a storage device in which a plurality of first storage setting numbers being information for controlling the ADC and a plurality of pieces of first characteristic information including description of operation of the ADC are stored in association with each other; and a communication device that receives a first reception setting number from the outside of the sensor terminal, and transmits the first characteristic information corresponding to the first storage setting number that coincides with the first reception setting number, to the outside of the sensor terminal.
Claims14
A sensor terminal comprising a sensor element,
- the sensor terminal further comprising:
- an ADC that converts an analog signal output from a sensor element into a digital signal;
- a storage device in which a plurality of first storage setting numbers being information for controlling the ADC and a plurality of pieces of first characteristic information including description of operation of the ADC are stored in association with each other;
- and
- a communication device that receives a first reception setting number from an outside of the sensor terminal and transmits the first characteristic information corresponding to the first storage setting number that coincides with the first reception setting number to the outside of the sensor terminal.
A sensor system comprising a sensor terminal and an external control device, wherein
- the sensor terminal comprising:
- a sensor element;
- an ADC that converts an analog signal output from the sensor element into a digital signal;
- a storage device in which a plurality of first storage setting numbers being information for controlling the ADC and a plurality of pieces of first characteristic information including description of operation of the ADC are stored in association with each other;
- and
- a communication device that receives a first reception setting number from the external control device and transmits the first characteristic information corresponding to the first storage setting number that coincides with the first reception setting number to the external control device,
- wherein the external control device
- transmits a first transmission setting number that is the same number as the first reception setting number,
- receives the first characteristic information, and stores the first characteristic information.
