1. An arrangement for configuring equipment for personal performance monitoring, said equipment comprising:
at least one carrier item comprising:
one or more sensors and/or actuators,
a tag comprising a near-field antenna and a first memory unit, and
a mounting zone having a first processing unit functionally connected to said mounting zone, said sensors and/or actuators and said tag and arranged to process sensor signals from said sensors and/or actuators,
at least one communication module having a second processing unit and adapted to be mounted on said mounting zone and to communicate with said first processing unit, said second processing unit being arranged to further process said sensor/actuator signals and to communicate processed signals over a wireless communication protocol, and
a remote device adapted to receive said processed signals over said wireless communication protocol, wherein said remote device is further adapted to configure said carrier item by communicating a selected predefined code to said tag in said carrier item over a near-field communication protocol, in order to write said predefined code into said first memory unit and to said communication module over a wired connection from said first memory unit,
whereby said personal performance monitoring by processing sensor or actuator signals with the first processing unit and further processing said sensor or actuator signals with the second processing unit is performed according to a configured use of said carrier item as identified by said predefined code.
