Zusammenfassung:An energy module is disclosed. The energy module includes a housing, a control circuit positioned within the housing, a port defined within the housing, and an interface circuit positioned within the housing. The control circuit is configured to communicate with a data storage device. The port is configured to engage an electrical connector of an instrument. The port includes a sensor configured to detect the engagement of the electrical connector, detect the engagement of the electrical connector, send a detection signal to the control circuit, and supply electrical power from the energy module to the instrument. The interface circuit is coupled to the port and the control circuit and is configured to establish communication between the port and the control circuit.
