    摘要: An exemplary system includes a processor, a wearable device comprising a plurality of slots, and a first module including a plurality of detectors and a module control circuit. The processor is configured to successively transmit, to each slot of the plurality of slots, a command to enable a respective module located in each slot. The processor is further configured to determine, based on an acknowledgment received from the module control circuit, that the first module is enabled and located in a first slot, and to successively transmit, based on the determining that the first module is enabled and located in the first slot, a plurality of detector address identifiers. The module control circuit is configured to successively place the plurality of detectors into an enumeration mode in which each detector of the plurality of detectors is assigned a different detector address identifier of the plurality of detector address identifiers.

    摘要: An exemplary system includes a light source and a control circuit configured to apply voltage having a first polarity to the light source for a first time period to provide a threshold charge for the light source to start an emission of a light pulse that is directed at a target within a body. The control circuit is further configured to apply voltage having a second polarity opposite the first polarity to the light source for a second time period subsequent to the first time period to discharge the light source to stop the emission of the light pulse.
