What are the types of sensors according to the type of output signal?

Auto-operated

Non-auto-operated

Sensors can be classified according to the type of output signal they deliver, such as auto-operated or non-auto-operated.

Analog sensors deliver their signal continuously over time, while digital sensors have a discrete output.

Passive sensors generate signals representative of the measured parameters using an auxiliary source, while active or signal generators generate signals representative of the measured parameters without requiring any power source.

The operating element is the part of the instrument used to record, signal, integrate, transmit, or indicate.
