摘要：
A sensor system includes a sensor and a sensor electronics device. The sensorincludes a plurality of electrodes. Thesensor electronics device includes a connection detection device, a powersource, and a delay circuit. The connection detection devicedetermines if the sensor electronics device is connected to the sensor andtransmits a connection signal. The delay circuit receivesthe connection signal, waits a preset hydration time, and couples theregulated voltage from the power source to an electrode in thesensor after the preset hydration time has elapsed. Alternatively, the sensorelectronics device may include an electrical detectioncircuit and a microcontroller. The electrical detection circuit determines ifthe plurality of electrodes are hydrated and generates aninterrupt if the electrodes are hydrated. A microcontroller receives theinterrupt and transmits a signal representative of a voltage toan electrode of the plurality of electrodes.
