Abstract
A physiological measurement system has a sensor, a processor, a communications link and information elements. The sensor is configured to transmit light having a plurality of wavelengths into a tissue site and to generate a sensor signal responsive to the transmitted light after tissue attenuation. The attenuated light can be used by the system to determine a plurality of physiological measurements. The processor is configured to operate on the sensor signal so as to derive at least one physiological parameter after which of the plurality of physiological measurements the system is configured to or capable of measuring.

2. A physiological measurement system comprising:
-
a first physical component comprising a sensor configured to transmit light having a plurality of wavelengths into a tissue site and to generate a sensor signal responsive to the transmitted light after tissue attenuation, wherein the first physical component is configured to provide first information specifying a plurality of physiological measurements the first physical component is capable of supporting; and a hardware processor capable of supporting only a subset of the plurality of physiological measurements that the first physical component is capable of supporting, wherein the hardware processor is configured to; receive the first information from the first physical component; determine, based on the first information, the subset of the plurality of physiological measurements; and configure the physiological measurement system to measure the subset of the plurality of physiological measurements using the first physical component. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
