Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dynamic adjustment of a sensor sampling rate. The method includes providing a data collection plan indicative of at least one first sampling rate for at least one sensor associated with at least one processing tool, receiving tool trace data from the at least one sensor via a network, and modifying, based on the tool trace data and a bandwidth associated with the network, the data collection plan to indicate at least one second sampling rate different from a corresponding at least one first sampling rate.
