What is Sensor technology?
What is Sensor technology
sensor is kind of transducer; sensors may provide various types of output, but typically use electrical or optical signals. For example, a thermocouple generates a known voltage (the output) in response to its temperature (the environment).
A sensor is a device that detects and responds to...
