Variable scale sensor
First Claim
1. A sensor assembly for sensing a sensed parameter, the sensor assembly comprising:
- a sense element for sensing the sensed parameter, the sense element providing a sense element output signal that is related to the sensed parameter;
a control block, including;
a first input port for receiving the sense element output signal;
a second input port for receiving a scale input adjustable by a user;
an output port for providing a sensor assembly output signal; and
wherein the control block is configured to take in the sense element output signal via the first input port and produce the sensor assembly output signal at the output port, wherein the sensor assembly output signal at the output port is related to the sense element output signal and corresponds to a user selected range of the sensed parameter, wherein the user selected range is determined, at least in part, by the scale input received via the second input port.

Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a sense element for sensing a sensed parameter. The sense element may provide a sense element output signal that is related to the sensed parameter. A control block may include a first input port for receiving the sense element output signal, a second input port for receiving a scale input adjustable by a user, and an output port for providing a sensor assembly output signal. The control block may be configured to take in the sense element output signal via the first input port and produce the sensor assembly output signal at the output port, wherein the sensor assembly output signal at the output port is related to the sense element output signal and corresponds to a user selected range of the sensed parameter. The user selected range may be determined, at least in part, by the scale input received via the second input port.
