<p>The sensor (30) has a sensor element (32) e.g. coil, for measuring a physical variable, a control- and evaluation unit (40) e.g. microcontroller, for processing a measurement signal of the element and for output a signal to an interface (60). The interface directly connects the sensor to an external computer (20) e.g. personal computer, in a configuration mode. The interface is designed to differentially transmit configuration data, having a bandwidth of greater than 1 Mega bit per second, between the sensor and the computer via two wires of a USBcable (23) in the mode. An independent claim is also included for a method for transmitting configuration data from an external computer to a sensor.</p> |
