1. A remotely programmable sensor and device for measuring a physical quantity of a medium comprising:
- a sensor for measuring said physical quantity of said medium and providing an electrical output within an operational range;
a scaler module for receiving said electrical output and for producing a scaled analog signal as a function of said electrical output and a scale selection definition;
a data interface for receiving programming data from an external computer and for providing said scale selection definition to said scaler module, such that said operational range of said electrical output is matched to cover an external device operating range so as to provide high resolution to said external device,wherein said sensor and device are integrated as a probe, said probe having a tip portion and a transition portion, and wherein said sensor is contained in said tip portion and said scaler module is contained in said transition portion.
