Abstract
A measurement device includes a substrate having accommodations with an emerging opening in which sensors are provided, the substrate including a cavity with a flexible printed circuit. The device is installed on a surface to characterize a fluid flow at this surface. The circuit uses hierarchized buses comprising two data communication buses emerging at the two longitudinal ends of the substrate and an internal data acquisition bus, the bus linking control circuits, each control circuit being connected to one of the communication buses, the sensors being connected to the bus in a distributed fashion on either side of each control circuit. The data from the sensors can be transmitted to the two surrounding circuits and may be acquired if one of them is faulty.
