Abstract
An environmental condition monitor () configured for simple upgrade from analog signal output to any of a plurality of digital communication protocols. A display board () includes the analog signal acquisition and processing elements of the device and also includes a pre-positioned but initially inoperative digital communication output connector (). A connector board () associated with the display board includes a connector () to which any one of a plurality of digital communication boards () may be selectively connected, depending upon which of a plurality of digital communication protocols is desired. Selective connection of a digital communication board completes a circuit whereby an analog output signal is converted to the desired digital output format and is then communicated back to the now-activated digital communication output connector ().
