Sensor event assessor input/output controller
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for combining sensor output from a plurality of sensors to a single channel of sensor information for a sensor event assessor, the method comprising:
- providing a multi-channel sensor input configuration to provide two-way communication with a plurality of sensors;
automatically querying each of the plurality of sensors to determine a sensor type;
automatically developing a sensor organization strategy based on the sensor type;
receiving electronic signals from at least two of the plurality of sensors;
combining the electronic signals into a single electronic signal; and
providing the single electronic signal over a single channel output to a sensor event assessor.

Abstract
A sensor event assessor input/output controller is disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-channel sensor input configuration provides two-way communication with a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors having its own channel. An electronic signal receiver receives electronic signals from one or more of the plurality of sensors at a pre-defined sample rate. A signal combiner bundles the electronic signals from one or more of the plurality of sensors into a single electronic signal. A single channel output is used to provide the single electronic signal to the sensor event assessor.
