Patent ID: 8209151

Claim:
A test assembly for capturing measurement data comprising: a sensor unit having a sensor element that supplies measurement signals, a sensor identification provided in or on said sensor unit, said sensor identification unambiguously and individually identifying said sensor unit, a storage unit for storing a first set of sensor-specific data allocated to the sensor identification, a data carrier provided in or on sensor unit for storing a second set of sensor-specific data, and an analysis unit which (a) is connected with the sensor unit by a measuring line, (b) polls the sensor identification of the sensor unit and reads the first set of sensor-specific data allocated to the sensor identification from the storage unit, (c) reads the second set of sensor-specific data from the data carrier, (d) compares the first set of sensor-specific data and the second set of sensor-specific data, and (e) transforms said measurement signals into measurement data by taking sensor-specific data into consideration if the first and second set of sensor-specific data are in agreement.
