Sensorudgange refers to the outputs provided by sensors. These outputs are the signals that a sensor generates in response to a physical phenomenon it is designed to detect. The nature of the output signal can vary significantly depending on the type of sensor and its intended application.

Common types of sensor outputs include analog signals and digital signals. Analog outputs are continuous and vary proportionally to the measured physical quantity. For example, a temperature sensor might output a voltage that increases or decreases linearly with temperature. Digital outputs, on the other hand, represent discrete values. These can be simple binary signals (on/off) or more complex serial data streams containing encoded measurements.

The format of analog sensor outputs often includes voltage or current signals. Voltage outputs might range from 0-5V or 0-10V, while current outputs are frequently 4-20mA loops, which are robust against electrical noise. Digital outputs can be presented in various protocols like I2C, SPI, or UART, allowing for communication with microcontrollers and other digital devices.

The specific characteristics of a sensor's output, such as its range, resolution, accuracy, and response time, are critical factors in selecting the appropriate sensor for a given task. Understanding these output characteristics is essential for interfacing the sensor correctly with other electronic systems and for interpreting the data it provides.
