- 3. SENSOR INTRODUCTION A sensoris a device that produces a measurable response to a change in a physical condition, such as temperature or thermal conductivity, or to a change in chemical concentration. Sensors are particularly useful for making in-situ measurements such as in industrial process control. Sensors are responsible for converting some type of physical phenomenon into a quantity measurable by a data acquisition (DAQ) system. 3
