1. A method of using a self-describing module for updating data in a monitoring device mount, the method comprising:
transmitting a metadata block (MDB) from the self-describing module to the monitoring device mount using a communication interface, the MDB including at least identification (ID) data and configuration data;
associating the ID data from the MDB with ID data of a plurality of sub-systems of the monitoring device mount; and
updating configuration data of at least one sub-system of the monitoring device mount with the configuration data in the MDB based on a result of the association between ID data from the MDB and the ID data of the plurality of sub-systems.
