Telemetry and communication systems

Abstract

To provide a telemetry and communication system that allows for easy modification of the communication method. [Solution] According to the embodiment, the telemeter comprises a base unit, a memory, and a processing module. A communication module is connected to the base unit. The memory stores setting information including a transmission mode indicating the communication line used for communication, setting parameters for wired communication, setting parameters for wireless communication, a wired communication program for communicating via a wired line, and a wireless communication program for communicating via a wireless line. The processing module performs wireless communication via a wireless line using a communication module controlled by a wireless communication program to which the setting parameters for wireless communication are applied when the transmission mode in the setting information is a wireless line, and performs wired communication via the wired line using a communication module controlled by a wired communication program to which the setting parameters for wired communication are applied when the transmission mode in the setting information is a wired line.
