METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USE IN MEASUREMENT DATA ACQUISITION
First Claim
1. A sensor unit for use in measurement data acquisition, the sensor unit comprising:
- a first signal line configured to output a first digital sense signal based on a first analog sense signal, and to output a second digital sense signal based on a second analog sense signal; and
a second signal line configured to selectively transmit either the first digital sense signal or the second digital sense signal.

Abstract
Methods for use in a measurement system. Some embodiments comprise at least one sensor unit and a control unit, wherein the at least one sensor unit is configured to detect a physical quantity and to form a sensor data signal. The method comprises, at the control unit, receiving a data receive signal from the sensor unit, and interpreting the data receive signal to be one of at least the sensor data signal and another data signal, wherein the interpreting is based on an attribute information intrinsic to the data receive signal. Furthermore, there is a sensor unit for use in measurement data acquisition, an apparatus configured to control a measurement data acquisition, a measurement system for use in measurement data acquisition, and a medium incorporating a sequence of operation steps that, when executed, perform a method for use in a measurement system for data acquisition.
