The present invention is directed to a portable data medium and method for transferring configuration data from an external computer to a sensor. The portable data medium includes: a first connector for connecting the data medium to an external computer, a read-write memory for buffering the configuration data, which memory cooperates with the first connector, wherein the first connector transfers the configuration data from the external computer to the read-write memory; wherein in the read-write memory there is stored a configuring software program, which can be uploaded into an RAM of the external computer when the data medium is connected to the external computer; the configuring software program permits compilation of the configuration data for the sensor at least one of automatically and interactively by a user; for the purpose of connecting the data medium to the sensor, a second connector is present which cooperates with the read-write memory and transfers the configuration data from the read-write memory to a memory of the sensor when the data medium is connected to the sensor; and an independent power supply is present for supplying the data medium with electrical energy.
