A Plug&Play Architecture for Low-Power Measurement Systems

An architecture for low-power measurement systems has been designed and employed to arrange a temperature measurement system based on a transponder. The described architecture is modular and the measurement modules have hot-swap and plug&play capabilities. The architecture, therefore, is able to automatically neither identify and configure the measurement modules, so that a new module can be added to the measurement system without power down the system nor interrupt the measurement session. This is particularly useful when long measurement procedures are carried out and the user has the requirement to extend the system
