Summary Of: Sensor

sensor but less sophisticated... A photocell sensor located at an offset responds when the beam is reflected from an object to the... A type of touch sensor and proximity sensor... A good sensor obeys the following rules... the sensor should be sensitive to the measured property... the sensor should be insensitive to any other property... the sensor should not influence the measured property... The output signal of such a sensor is linearly proportional to the value of the measured property... if a sensor measures temperature and has a voltage output... this sensor is linear because the ratio is constant at all points of measurement... If the sensor is not ideal... but the sensor is still linear... This is defined as the output of the sensor at zero input... usually indicates a slow degradation of sensor properties over a long period of time... If the sensor has a digital output... The sensor may to some extent be sensitive to properties other than the property being measured... of a sensor is the smallest change it can detect in the quantity that it is measuring...
