To provide means for sharing information settable to a sensor terminal between the sensor terminal and the outside of the censor terminal so as to be able to set the information to the sensor terminal even if the sensor terminal is already installed.SOLUTION: A sensor terminal 100 including a sensor element 120 includes: an ADC 113 for converting an analog signal output by the sensor element 120 into a digital signal; a storage device 116 in which a plurality of first storage setting numbers serving as information for controlling the ADC 113 and a plurality of pieces of first characteristic information including description of operation of the ADC 113 are stored in association; and a communication device 130 that receives a first reception setting number from the outside of the sensor terminal 100 and transmits the first characteristic information corresponding to the first storage setting number matching the first reception setting number to the outside of the sensor terminal 100.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】センサ端末が設置済みであっても、センサ端末へ情報を設定できるように、センサ端末とセンタ端末の外部との間で、センサ端末へ設定可能な情報を共有する手段を提供する。【解決手段】センサエレメント１２０を含むセンサ端末１００であって、センサエレメント１２０が出力するアナログ信号をデジタル信号に変換するＡＤＣ１１３と、ＡＤＣ１１３を制御する情報となる複数の第１の格納設定番号と、ＡＤＣ１１３の動作の記述を含む複数の第１の特性情報とが対応付けられて格納される記憶装置１１６と、第１の受信設定番号をセンサ端末１００の外部から受信し、第１の受信設定番号と一致する第１の格納設定番号に対応する第１の特性情報を、センサ端末１００の外部へ送信する通信装置１３０と、を備える。【選択図】図１
