11. A method, comprising:
-
decoding, via a processor-based monitor, first data of a probe information element corresponding to one or more first error characteristics of a proximity probe of a proximity probe system to determine the one or more first error characteristics of the proximity probe; decoding, via the processor-based monitor, second data of a second information element relating to one or more second error characteristics of second component of the proximity probe system to determine the one or more second error characteristics of the second component; receiving, via the processor-based monitor, an output signal from a controller of the proximity probe system, wherein the output signal is related to a distance between the proximity probe and a conductive target object; and determining, via the processor-based monitor, the distance between the proximity probe and the conductive target object based at least in part upon the output signal, the one or more first error characteristics of the proximity probe, and the one or more second error characteristics of the second component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system, comprising:
a proximity probe system, comprising; a proximity probe; a first physical tag disposed on the proximity probe, wherein the first physical tag comprises first data relating to one or more first attributes of the proximity probe; a controller coupled to the proximity probe, wherein the controller is configured to determine an output signal based at least in part upon a feedback signal received from the proximity probe related to a distance between the proximity probe and a conductive target object; and a monitor comprising a processor configured to; receive the output signal from the controller; decode the first data to determine the one or more first attributes of the proximity probe; and determine the distance between the proximity probe and the conductive target object based at least in part upon the output signal and the one or more first attributes. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
