Abstract:
1. A modular data collection system, said system comprising: a base unit having a processor, a memory, and a first electromechanical connector, said base unit contained within a first housing; and a modular data collection peripheral unit in communication with said base unit, said modular data collection peripheral unit having a processor, a second electromechanical connector and a software module, said software module allowing said modular data collection peripheral unit to respond to hypertext transfer protocol requests and said modular data collection peripheral unit contained within a second housing, wherein said modular data collection peripheral unit is detachably attachable to said base unit by said first electromechanical connector connecting to said second electromechanical connector; wherein the base unit includes routing information that can direct routing of data to the modular data collection peripheral unit; wherein the modular data collection system is operative so that the routing information is responsive to the attached or detached status of the modular data collection peripheral unit.
