Magnetic probe apparatus and method for providing a wireless connection to a detection device

A system for detecting whether a connection member of a detection device is in communicating relation with a device interface, comprising:

• a connection member including a magnet, said connection member being coupled to a detection device, and
• a device interface including a magnetic field sensor, wherein upon detection of a magnetic field produced by the magnet of the connection member, the magnetic field sensor produced by the magnet of the connection member, the magnetic field sensor produces a responsive signal indicative of the connection member being in communicating relation with the device interface;
• wherein the device interface includes a differential inductor coil configuration.
