What is a digital sensor?

The term digital sensor is generally applied in engineering to a device that monitors a binary output i.e. 1 or 0, ON or Off. The term ‘digital sensor’ in environment monitoring can also refer to an ‘intelligent’ sensor that monitors data within a range of specific values. This term is commonly used with Avtech Room Alert devices. Avtech digital sensors include temperature and temperature/humidity monitoring sensors. When either of these are plugged into a compatible environment monitor, the temperature or temperature/humidity data is automatically logged for analysis.
