Sensor

1 Definition

A (technical?) device or instrument suited (through physical/chemical interaction) to measure one or more properties of a Phenomenon and thus collect factual/objective Data.

Notes

  • Sensing is therefore a synonym for Observation (the process).
  • As by their definition, sensors perform sampling.
  • Sensors used to obtain measurements must be calibrated and provide uncertainties.
