Abstract: According to a method and apparatus disclosed herein, an electronic register advantageously logs raw sensor data without converting the raw sensor data into physical-domain measurements, and without need for being configured to understand or process such data, or account or compensate for any sensor installation particulars. Instead, the electronic register advantageously stores conversion data in association with each sensor interface circuit being used to collect raw sensor data from a corresponding external sensor, and it provides the conversion data to an external device, in association with read-out of the raw sensor data logged by the electronic unit. The conversion data provides the mathematical expression, along with any compensation or adjustment values needed, to convert the raw sensor data into corresponding physical-domain measurements.
