Abstract
The present invention relates to a flexible analog/digital configuration, preferably on a chip, that can be used for receiving various inputs, processing those inputs, and displaying/communicating the results and/or providing a response thereto. More particularly, the present invention can measure multiple parameters and, when properly programmed, can easily organize the data from multiple sensors or other analog or digital sources. It can present or display different, or similar, pages for setting up each measurement (or each measured parameter) (e.g., by sensor, class of sensors, etc.) to enable an easy to use approach for individuals without needing to know the specifics as to many parameters. This user-friendly approach can be performed using a configurable chip module system. A configurable chip module system can include analog elements, digital elements, and connection elements between the analog and digital elements, where some of the analog elements and/or digital elements receive inputs from one or more sources and where some of the analog elements and/or digital elements generate output signals for generating control signals and/or outputs that present measurements to output receiving elements. The system includes a configuration mechanism that automatically configures the connection elements in response to receiving selections entered on a user interface, where the user interface allows a user to input commands to modify the structure of the chip module system.
