Abstract
A passive sensor arrangement comprising a plurality of sensors (6) for monitoring environmental parameters at a number of separate locations (5), each sensor (6) requiring individual calibration. An interrogation system (2) receives and analyses data from the sensor (5), and a memory (1) is associated with each sensor (6) for storing the individual calibration data its associated sensor. Each sensor position has a memory card slot associated with it such that calibration information carried on a memory card inserted into a particular slot is automatically associated with the sensor in that position. In this way, calibration information for the sensors can easily be updated when sensors are moved or replaced by simply moving the associated memory card into a different slot or replacing the memory card with a new one carrying the calibration data for the replacement sensor.

14. A passive sensor arrangement comprising:
-
a plurality of remote passive sensors for monitoring environmental parameters at separate locations;
an interrogation system for receiving and analyzing data from each sensor; and
storage means uniquely associated with each sensor for storing calibration data relating to the associated sensor, wherein said storage means is removably connectable to the interrogation system for providing the calibration data thereto. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method of providing calibration information for individual sensors of a tire pressure detection system comprising the steps of:
-
selecting a wheel in a set of wheels of a vehicle for which calibration information is to be provided;
identifying a sensor which is assigned to monitor the selected wheel;
identifying an input in an interrogation system associated with said sensor; and
inserting into said input a memory card on which is stored the calibration information relating to the selected wheel. - View Dependent Claims (26)
