Abstract
A sensor device. The sensor device includes a sensor element, a processing unit, and a communication interface. The processing unit is configured to receive a desired sampling frequency and a desired measurement duration via the communication interface, and to determine a necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements depending on the desired sampling frequency and the desired measurement duration, and to sample a measurement signal of the sensor element depending on the necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements. A method for operating a sensor device is also described.
Claims6
A sensor device, comprising:
- a sensor element;
- a processing unit;
- and
- a communication interface;
- wherein the processing unit is configured to:
- receive a desired sampling frequency and a desired measurement duration via the communication interface,
- determine a necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements depending on the desired sampling frequency and the desired measurement duration, and
- sample a measurement signal of the sensor element depending on the necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements.
A method for operating a sensor device, comprising the following steps:
- a. receiving a desired sampling frequency via a communication interface of the sensor device;
- b. receiving a desired measurement duration via the communication interface;
- c. determining a necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements depending on the desired sampling frequency and the desired measurement duration;
- and
- d. sampling a measurement signal of a sensor element of the sensor device depending on the necessary distance in time between two consecutive measurements.
