IEEE 1451.2-1997

This project will develop a standard digital interface for connecting transducers (defined here as sensors and actuators) to microprocessors. It will define a transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) and its data formats. It will define an electrical interface, read and write logic functions to access the TEDS and transducers. This interface will be usable by a wide variety of sensors and actuators. This project will not specify signal conditioning, signal conversion, or how the TEDS data are used in application.
