<p>The present invention discloses a system for providing a sensor probe for which the overall length, spacing between sensors, and types of sensors can be easily configured. The present invention employs the concept of modularity to enable these capabilities. The sensor probe comprises three modules: base module, one or more sensor modules, and end module. Each module comprises, at a minimum, an outer shell and an electrical network. At least one sensor module in the sensor probe includes a sensor. The sensor probes comprises a mechanical means for coupling the outer shells of adjacent modules and an electrical means for coupling the electrical networks of adjacent modules. In certain embodiments, the coupling can be coupled and uncoupled multiple times.</p> |
