METHODS AND DEVICES FOR FINDING SETTINGS TO BE USED IN RELATION TO A SENSOR UNIT CONNECTED TO A PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

A method performed in a processing unit for finding settings to be used in relation to a sensor unit connected to the processing unit is disclosed. The method comprises inter alia receiving, from the sensor unit, a first identifier identifying a type of the sensor unit, and a second identifier identifying a group of at least one related type of sensor unit. If no settings associated with the first identifier are stored in the processing unit, but settings associated with the second identifier are stored in the processing unit, the processing unit uses the settings associated with the second identifier in relation to the sensor unit.

1. A method performed in a processing unit for finding settings to be used in relation to a sensor unit connected to the processing unit, comprising:
receiving, from the sensor unit, a hierarchy of identifiers having at least three levels, wherein a first level of the hierarchy comprises a first identifier identifying a type of the sensor unit, and each level above the first level comprises an identifier identifying a group of at least one related type of sensor unit; checking if there are settings associated with the first identifier stored in the processing unit; if settings associated with the first identifier are stored in the processing unit, using the settings associated with the first identifier in relation to the sensor unit; if there are no settings associated with an identifier of each of the levels up to and including a particular level in the hierarchy stored in the processing unit, checking if there are settings associated with an identifier of the level in the hierarchy subsequent to the particular level, if settings associated with an identifier of the level in the hierarchy subsequent to the particular level are stored in the processing unit, using the settings associated with the identifier of the level in the hierarchy subsequent to the particular level in relation to the sensor unit.
