Abstract: A measurement device having a configurable measurement interface that enables the dynamic allocation of responsibilities among front-end and back-end subsystems of a measurement device. A measurement device according to the present teachings includes a front-end subsystem for performing an interaction with a physical environment and back-end subsystem having a set of resources for supporting the front-end subsystem. The front-end and back-end subsystems are coupled to and communicate through a measurement interface. The front-end subsystem transfers a set of bootstrap information via the measurement interface to the back-end subsystem and in response the back-end subsystem configures the resources to support the front-end subsystem.

Abstract: A measurement device having a configurable measurement interface 18 that enables the dynamic allocation of responsibilities among front-end and back-end subsystems of a measurement device, includes a front-end subsystem 12 for performing an interaction with a physical environment and a back-end subsystem 14 having a set of resources for supporting the front-end subsystem 12. The front-end and back-end subsystems 12 and 14 are coupled to and communicate through a measurement interface 18. The front-end subsystem 12 transfers a set of bootstrap information 20 via the measurement interface 18 to the back-end subsystem 14 and in response the back-end subsystem 14 configures the resources to support the front-end subsystem 12.
