1. A measuring instrument comprising:
- plurality of sensors; and
a connecting device enabling association of any of the sensors with the measuring instrument, and including data processing means for identifying each of the sensors and activating at least one function for protection of a user of the measuring instrument, determined in accordance with characteristics of a selected one of the plurality of sensors, the connecting device including a multi-point connector, having a first part for establishing a link between the sensor selected and the data processing means for a data exchange to identify the sensor selected and the activation of the protection and having a second part for establishing a direct link for transmission of measurement signals from the sensor selected to the measuring instrument, the second part being dielectrically isolated from the first part.

Abstract
A measuring instrument with active and/or passive sensors, and a connecting device enabling one to associate any one of the sensors with the measuring instrument. The connecting device enables one to identify the sensor and to activate at least one function for protection of the user of the measuring instrument determined according to characteristics of the sensor connected. For this purpose, a multi-point connector allowing identification of the sensor chosen, activation of the protection, and establishment of a direct link for transmission of measurement signals from the sensor to the measuring instrument.
