Sensor

on . Posted in Instrumentation & Controls Engineering

An instrumentation sensor is a device or element that is used to measure physical quantities and convert them into signals that can be interpreted, displayed, or recorded.  These sensors play a critical role in various fields, including industrial automation, aerospace, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and more.  Instrumentation sensors are fundamental components of measurement and control systems, providing essential data for decision making and process optimization.

These sensors can employ various technologies, including resistive, capacitive, inductive, optical, and electronic methods, depending on the specific measurement requirements.  The data generated by instrumentation sensors are typically processed by control systems or read by instrumentation and control engineers to make informed decisions and adjustments in various processes and systems.
