BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Currently in educational, research, or science and technology environments, a wide variety of electronic instrumentation media are used, such as sensors that are usually connected to a data processing unit such as a personal computer through complex data acquisition systems. .
These data acquisition systems are linked with sensors to take samples of signals generated by the sensors and produce digital signals that can be manipulated by the computer. These data acquisition systems must be individually configured by a user, who usually performs the measurements, for each type of sensor used.
Additionally, these systems require the user to install software on the personal computer, usually different for each type of sensor, which allows the operating system to recognize the sensor and thus give access to the measured signals.
Thus, in environments where a wide variety of sensors are required, the user has to install a large number of software that can interfere with each other, as well as individually configure each sensor for the data acquisition system. Additionally, export the information of each sensor to treatment tables


of data is usually complicated.
On the other hand, the use of a wide variety of electronic instrumentation means such as actuators also presents this problem, since the controllers are specific to each actuator, complicating the control of each type of actuator.
Additionally, both the sensors and the actuators have different connection nodes which further complicates their use in educational facilities where it is required to measure varied situations or send orders to the actuators, and the user does not have to have sufficient computer knowledge to configure correctly each type of sensor and each type of actuator needed.

Preferably said connection node A comprises at least one RJ connector or a connection terminal of at least 2 pins.


More specifically, RJ connectors are female type connectors.
Specifically, these communication instructions comprise communication protocols to establish a data transfer with all electronic instrumentation means linked to the device, as well as communication protocols to establish a data transfer with the data processing unit, without requiring that The user has to configure anything.
Additionally, these communication instructions allow the user to export the information of each electronic instrumentation medium to data processing tables.
More specifically, the communications port comprises a wireless receiver-sender module. This wireless data receiver-transmitter module communicates with the data processing unit through an industrial specification type "bluethoot". Additionally, the communications port comprises a wired data receiver-transmitter module such as a USB type cable.
Preferably, the data processing unit is a personal computer, a Smartphone or a Tablet.
A second aspect of the invention is an electronic instrumentation means linkable with the device of the first aspect of the invention.
More specifically, the electronic instrumentation medium comprises:
 at least one connection node B linkable with connection node A, and
 at least one actuator and / or at least one sensor linked to connection node B,
wherein the actuator or sensor through the device establishes automatic communication with the data processing unit.


Said connection node B comprises at least one RJ connector or a connection terminal of at least 2 pins.
More specifically, RJ connectors are female type.
Specifically, the sensor is selected from at least: pressure sensor, temperature sensor, ultrasonic sensor, hall effect sensor, magnetic field sensor, proximity sensor, light intensity sensor, lux meter, phototransistor and accelerometer.
While the actuator is selected from at least: laser emitter, electric motor
or electric servomotor.
Preferably, the connection node B is linkable with the connection node A by means of a cable, comprising at each of its ends a complementary connector with that of the nodes A and B respectively.
Alternatively, the connection node B is linkable to the connection node A by means of metallic pin-type contacts completing them with each other.
Thus, when both connection nodes are of the RJ type (RJ11, RJ12 or RJ45) a telephone, UTP or STP cable is used. Allowing an easy connection and disconnection of a wide variety of sensors and actuators with the device and therefore with the personal computer.
Finally, the power supply of the device and the different electronic instrumentation means is carried out by means of a first electric battery. Additionally, it is also electrically powered by an additional power input from a second battery when the electronic instrumentation medium comprises various mechanical actuators such as motors
or servomotors.
Alternatively, when the device communicates via USB with the computer, it does not


The first battery is needed because the USB in addition to the communication port is the power input.
In this way, the present invention allows to establish a transfer of data or instructions between a wide variety of sensors and actuators with the data processing unit unit through the device, without the need for the user to configure anything, facilitating the use of sensors and actuators.
