9 Questions
What is the definition of a sensor?
A device that produces an output signal for the purpose of sensing of a physical variable
What are some general sensor classifications?
Mechanical sensors, Chemical sensors, Thermal sensors
What is the definition of a transducer?
A device that converts a signal from one physical form to a corresponding signal
What do analog sensors refer to?
Sensors with continuous output signals
What does digital sensors refer to?
Sensors that produce discrete output signals
Analog sensors can be best described as sensors that:
Produce a continuous output signal that varies in response to changes in the sensed variable
What is the primary function of a transducer?
To convert a signal from one physical form to another
What distinguishes digital sensors from analog sensors?
Digital sensors produce discrete output signals, while analog sensors produce continuous signals
Which of the following best describes the mode of operation of null-type sensors?
They produce zero output when the input is zero
