Abstract:
1. A modular system for obtaining measured data for forwarding such data in a radio-based manner, the system comprising: units comprising a plurality of modules each having measured data means for obtaining measured data, a transmitting means for transmitting measured data by a radio signal, a receiving means for receiving data sent by other units, and means for generating a transmissible code containing additional data sent by said transmitting means that identifies a sending module and identifies by which module measured data transmitted were obtained, wherein said transmitting means and said receiving means together function as a repeater and wherein each module can function as a sensor for obtaining measured data, as a repeater for the radio-based forwarding of received data and as a master for collecting the data obtained and/or sent by the individual modules and for coordinating the transmission operation and for initializing the system when the particular function is assigned to the module, at least one module functioning as a master and having collecting means for collecting data obtained and/or sent by the individual modules and coordinating and/or initializing the transmission operation of the individual modules.
