Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
German term or phrase: Baustein
This is a major piece of terminology in a document and seems to be referring to options or functions in a program for a sensor interface. It also comes up in the terms "Bibliotheksbausteine" and "Bausteinschnittstelle". There seem to many possible translations, but I'm not sure which is most appropriate.

English translation:module
Explanation:
... appears to be the most appropriate option if this is about software, but please take this suggestion with the proverbial grain of salt because of the limited context. According to this assumption, "Bibliotheksbausteine" and "Bausteinschnittstelle" could be translated as "library modules" and "module interface".

See, for instance, https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs3110/2012sp/lectures/le... on modular programming.
