METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC DATA ACQUISITION CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting data between elements of a data acquisition system, said method comprising:
- receiving, at a first element, a self-describing control packet including a first configuration parameter, the first configuration parameter controls first data acquisition by the first element;
acquiring first data by the first element in accordance with the first configuration parameter;
generating a self-describing data packet including an identifier for the first configuration parameter and the acquired first data; and
interpreting the acquired first data using the identifier.
