Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a primary unit configured to measure one or more parameters, wherein the primary unit is configured with a user-controlled power controller used for setting a power state of the primary unit, wherein the primary unit is further configured with a magnetic actuator, wherein the magnetic actuator is positioned within a housing of the primary unit, and wherein the magnetic actuator is coupled to the user-controlled power controller; and a secondary unit, wherein the secondary unit is detachable from the primary unit, wherein when the secondary unit is attached to the primary unit the magnetic actuator coordinates a power state of the secondary unit with the power state of the primary unit by mechanically setting a position of a conductive element magnetically coupled to the magnetic actuator, wherein the conductive element is in a housing of the secondary unit, and wherein the power state of the primary unit and the power state of the secondary unit each include at least an on state and a standby state.
