Abstract
A sensor with a dynamic data range. The sensor generates sensor values at consecutive time points. The sensor is configured in such a way that the data range is subjected, after each time point, to a treatment corresponding to one of the following treatment options performed as a function of the generated sensor values, wherein the treatment options include:—increasing the data range if n of the generated sensor values are outside the data range during a first time window,—decreasing the data range if m of the generated sensor values are within the data range during a second time window, and—otherwise leaving the data range unchanged. A method for automatically adjusting a data range of such a sensor is also described.

A sensor with a dynamic data range, wherein the sensor is configured to generate sensor values at consecutive time points, and is configured in such a way that the data range is subjected, after each time point, to a treatment corresponding to one of the following treatment options performed as a function of the generated sensor values, wherein the treatment options include:
- increasing the data range if n of the generated sensor values are outside the data range during a first time window,
- decreasing the data range if m of the generated sensor values are within the data range during a second time window, and
- otherwise leaving the data range unchanged.
A method for adjusting a data range of a sensor, the method comprising:
- generating sensor values at consecutive time points, using the sensor;
- and
- subjecting the data range, after each time point, to a treatment corresponding to one of the following treatment options performed as a function of the generated sensor values, wherein the treatment options include:
- increasing the data range when n of the generated sensor values are outside the data range during a first time window,
- decreasing the data range when m of the generated sensor values are within the data range during a second time window, and
- otherwise leaving the data range unchanged.
