What’s the difference between analog and digital sensors?

Analog Sensors

Analog sensors provide an analog output signal (0 to 3V) that can be recorded by the biosignalsplux hub. Here, 1 port of the biosignalsplux hub is occupied by 1 sensor and only 1 sensor signals is acquired using this connection.

Some examples of our analog sensors are:

  • Electrodermal Activity (EDA)
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Electrocardiography (ECG)
  • Respiration (Inductive & Piezo-Electric)

Digital Sensors

Digital sensors provide multiple sensors signals in a digitally pre-formatted signal using only one connect. Here, 1 port of the biosignalsplux hub is occupied by 1 sensor connection but multiple signals be acquired via this connection.

Some examples of our digital sensors are:

  • Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (FNIRS)
  • Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
