Advanced Sensor Vocabulary for Crossword Puzzle Exercise
Across
- 6. A device that conditions or amplifies the output of a sensor to make it suitable for transmission or further processing.
- 7. An active sensor that generates an electrical charge in response to mechanical stress.
- 8. An active sensor that generates a voltage based on temperature differences, without requiring an external power supply.
- 10. The force exerted by a fluid, measured by sensors in process control.
- 11. A passive sensor whose resistance changes with temperature, requiring an external excitation circuit.
Down
- 1. The electric potential produced by a sensor, such as a thermocouple when exposed to temperature changes.
- 2. To increase the strength of the sensor signal, often required to make the sensor's output usable in control systems.
- 3. A sensor that requires an external power source to operate and provide output.
- 4. A sensor that does not need an external power source as it generates its own signal.
- 5. A device that detects changes in physical, electrical, or chemical properties and produces an electrical output in response.
- 9. A unit of voltage measurement used to quantify the low-level output of a thermocouple.
