Abstract: Smart measurement probes may provide information regarding calibration data. However, an electronic instrument connected to such a smart measurement probe may be unable to fully utilize the capacities of the smart measurement probe. A measurement probe may be configured to provide information regarding calibration data to an instrument, but may not be able to take into account calibration settings of that instrument if that instrument lacks the capability to communicate that information to the smart measurement probe. To address such issues, an interface device may be connected between the smart measurement probe and the instrument, with the ability to generate simulated sensor outputs. A transmitter interrogation process utilizing these simulated sensor outputs may be used to determine the transmitter settings and provide an emulated sensor output emulating a previous sensor-transmitter pairing.
