There
are many different types
of sensors
and transducers, but in general, all of them can be classified into
two basic types: analog and digital. So which one is more useful to
your needs? Find out below.
Analog
sensors
Analog
sensors create continuous and generally proportional output signal to
that of the quantity being measured. Physical quantities such as
Strain, Temperature, Pressure, Displacement and Strain, among others,
are all analog because of their continuous characteristic. Analog
sensors share this continuous nature, producing signals that change
smoothly over time.
