• Microwave

• Piezoresistance

• Microprocessor

A sensor in an (a)   that records data about the surrounding physical environment.

What is the third step in the basic monitoring and control system?

• The sensor will constantly monitor the surrounding environment

• The data readings from the sensor will normally analogue and will be converted to digital signal

• The microprocessor will send a signal to an actuator to trigger any action that needs to be taken

• The microprocessor processes the value and compares it to a pre-set value

The results of the readings taken from the monitoring can be output in the form of (a)  

What are the benefits of monitoring technology. Tick all that apply.

• It removes the need for a human to check dangerous environment

• Readings can be taken over long periods of time

• Higher accuracy

• Employees may feel their privacy has been devalued or violated.
