II: to sense [sensor/sensation]
1. Kvalitativ angivelse af at et stof (tit meget lidt) eller et signal (tit meget svagt) er til stede.
One method for sensing the correct instant to disconnect the discharge resistor and
apply the dc field current is by using a polarized field relay (JorD83)
The infra-red sensor can detect the presence of a person in the building (AH)
... the temperature sensor - the thermocouple - is compact and robust ...
oil-level indicator: A dipstick, or an electronic oil-level sensor in the oil pan that turns
on a check oil level light in the instrument panel if the oil level is low (CroA94413)
(der er ikke tale om egentlig måling, indikatorlampe tændes når olieniveauet er for
lavt)
2. ‘Kvantitativ’ angivelse
Visse eksempler nærmer sig en kvantitativ angivelse, en ‘sensor’ kan give kvantitativt output
til instrumenter, apparater, etc.
coolant-temperature sensor (føler): A thermistor that continuously reports engine
coolant temperature to the ECM or PCM (CroA94406)
ECM: Electronic control module
The metal box containing the central processing unit (CPU) or computer that receives
information from switches and sensors (inputs) and, based on data programmed into
its memory, then sends signals (outputs) to operate various systems, circuits, and
actuators. Also called a controller.
PCM: Powertrain control module
An electronic module or computer that receives input from various engine and
powertrain sensors, and responds by sending output signals to various engine and
powertrain controls
Der udføres faktisk måling med en 'sensor' selv om man kunne sige at den egentlige måling
udføres af ECM-modulet: 'The coolant-temperature sensor reports engine coolant
temperature...')
Sensation ses ikke i egentlig teknisk betydning: ... the viewer's sensation of a vertical
reference (CCIRNEW)
