|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Basically, a sensor (or Transducer) is a device that converts a real-world property (e.g. temperature) into data that a computer can process. They’re used extensively in monitoring / measuring / data logging systems, and also in computer control systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common proximity sensors are inductive, capacitive and optical with all being transducers that include control circuitry.
Detailed explanation-3: -Computers don’t understand analogue data and therefore it needs to be converted to digital (e.g. 1’s and 0’s). The computer can then read the data.
