 | The Dual-Sensor Approach
A new approach has been developed that is conceptually very simple: to combine the strengths of two different measuring principles without allowing the restrictions to accumulate. Solutions applying this concept are being called “dual sensors,” because two existing sensors—each using different measurement principles—are combined and the signal outputs evaluated together.
