What are the Characteristics Of Sensor?
Sensor Definition
A sensor is defined as a device that detects and responds to physical input from the environment, converting it into a readable output.
Sensor Characteristic
Input characteristics
Transfer characteristics
Output characteristics
Range and Span
The range is the sensor’s measurable limits, while the span is the difference between the maximum and minimum values it can measure.
Accuracy vs. Precision
Accuracy is the closeness to the true value, while precision is how close repeated measurements are to each other.
Sensitivity
Sensitivity is the change in sensor output relative to the change in input.
Linearity and Hysteresis
Linearity is the consistency of sensor measurements with an ideal curve, and hysteresis is the difference in output when input is varied in two ways.
