Sensor ID and Supported Sensor Types
This section covers basic information regarding SLICE compatible sensors and sensor ID.
More detailed information regarding sensor connections can be found in Appendix F.
The diagram below shows a common 4-wire bridge sensor connection to a Bridge SLICE
input channel.

Sensor ID
Sensor ID is also referred to as electronic ID (EID). The function of EID is for the
SLICE hardware to automatically read and determine what sensor is attached to each
sensor input channel.
SLICE uses EID chips from Maxim IC, model DS2401 (see
http://www.maxim-
ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/2903
). To make soldering of the EID easier, DTS
provides EID microcards, which have a chip scale packaged DS2401 soldered to a
circuit board with wires attached (see below).
