Parameter measuring instrument e.g. for multimeter, has multipoint connector with part to identify sensor and activate protection function for user of instrument based on sensor characteristics

摘要

The arrangement has a connection device for connecting a sensor to a measuring instrument. A multipoint connector includes a part (12) to establish a connection between the sensor and a data processing unit (17) for identifying the sensor and activating a protection function for user of the instrument according to sensor characteristics. Another part (13) establishes direct transmission of signals from the sensor to the instrument.
