What Is Sensor?
What Is Sensor? All these sensors are used for measuring one of the physical properties like Temperature, Resistance, Capacitance, Conduction, Heat Transfer etc. Digital Sensors, in contrast to Analog Sensors, work with discrete or digital data. The data in digital sensors, which is used for conversion and transmission, is digital in nature. The other type of classification is based on the means of detection used in the sensor. Some of the means of detection are Electric, Biological, Chemical, Radioactive etc. The simplest example of a sensor is an LDR or a Light Dependent Resistor. Selecting the sub-category Metal Detectors will not show any gear tooth sensors because these are found under Motion sensors.
