Abstract:
Apparatus for adjusting a physical dimension transformed into outputs or output curves by a sensor, said apparatus comprising, in combination:an operating stage;a permanent memory;an altering component connected to the operations stage by way of the permanent memory and directly to the operations stage;a temporary memory that parallels the permanent memory and is connected to the altering component and the operations stage; andan output component;wherein the operations stage is mounted on the sensor, a connector strip with at least one output pin is mounted on the altering component, and the output pin is connected to the output component, andwherein the outputs or output curves produced by the operations stage are adjusted such that:a) the altering component temporarily stores adjustment data in the temporary memory by way of the output pin and the data are processed by the operations stage to emit altered outputs or output curves by way of the output component's output pin, andb) if the outputs or output curves have attained their adjusted state, the altering component enters the adjustment data in the permanent memory.
