Claim:
1. An oximetry assembly comprising: a cable assembly including a proximal end and a distal end; an oximetry sensor located at the distal end of the cable assembly and configured to provide one or more raw oximetry signals, the oximetry sensor configured to attach to a finger and comprising at least one emitter and at least one detector, the at least one emitter configured to transmit light at one or more wavelengths into tissue, the at least one detector configured to receive the light after the light passes through or is reflected by the tissue and to output the one or more raw oximetry signals based on the received light, wherein the one or more raw oximetry signals comprise analog data; an analog-to-digital converter housed within the cable assembly and configured to receive the one or more raw oximetry signals from the oximetry sensor and to digitize the one or more raw oximetry signals to output one or more digitized oximetry signals; a connector located at the proximal end of the cable assembly and configured to removably couple the cable assembly to a monitor; and a processor housed within the cable assembly, wherein the processor, when in operation, receives the one or more digitized oximetry signals from the analog-to-digital converter, processes the one or more digitized oximetry signals to determine one or more oximetry measurements, and transmits the one or more oximetry measurements to the monitor when the connector is coupled to the monitor.
