METHOD FOR ASSIGNING DEVICE ADRESSES TO SENSORS IN A PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, A PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, AND A CONNECTOR ELEMENT FOR A PHYSIOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM.

摘要

A method for assigning addresses to a plurality of physiological sensor units is disclosed. A physiological measurement system and a connector element for a physiological measurement system are also disclosed. To enable identification of identical sensor units in a measurement system, each input port of a connector element, such as a trunk cable, is adapted to determine at least part of a device address of a sensor unit connected to that input port, thereby to obtain a unique device address for each sensor unit connected to the connector element.
