1. A sensor for detecting a parameter of an object comprising:
- a probe;
a first sensing member, provided in the probe, that detects a parameter of an object to be sensed; and
a second sensing member that determines an orientation of the probe relative to the object to be sensed.

Abstract
A sensor for detecting a parameter of an object includes a probe, a first sensing member for detecting the parameter of an object to be sensed and a second sensing member for determining an orientation of the probe relative to the object to be sensed. The second sensing member communicates the orientation of the probe to a data acquisition device to minimize data analysis errors associated with inaccurate orientation information.

12. A method of sensing orientation of a sensor that monitors a parameter of an object comprising:
-
mounting a probe relative to an object to be sensed sensing through at least one sensing member provided in the probe a parameter of the object; and detecting an orientation of the probe relative to the object being sensed with another sensing member. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20)
