An analog sensor is a device that measures an analog quality (such as temperature, wind speed, sound frequency or velocity).
Many of us fail to recognize the difference between qualitative and quantitative measurements.
Quantitative descriptors are actually just the result of counting something; seventeen marbles, five folding chairs, three apples...
Qualitative descriptors are the result of estimating something; eight cups of sliced apples, a five pound bag of marbles, the current room temperature.
When we use a scale to measure something, it's called "qualitative"... or analog.
Converters are available that allow a computer to achieve a close approximation of an analog measurement, but for the computer to use the value it must first be converted to a digital signal. Inside the computer, that digital signal is all ones and zeroes, but many of them can be put together to represent a very large number.
If that doesn't help, perhaps a basic physics class or even a computer "digital logic" class might be beneficial.

What is the difference between magnetic pick up and proximity sensor?
A limit switch turns on or off when the object being sensed reaches a specific location.A proximity sensor returns an analog signal indicating how far the object is from the sensor.
What is the data of the weather vane and is it analog or digital?
Analogue
What is the meaning of data acquisition systems?
A data acquisition system covers any system that converts analog waves into digital values for processing. A sensor that detects temperature, for example, takes the analog information and converts it into digital information that can be processed.
Does a digital camera use digital signals?
The signal directly from the sensor is analog. It is than converted to digital, and a digital signal is used for processing. The signal directly from the sensor is analog. It is than converted to digital, and a digital signal is used for processing.
What is analog media?
analog media means analog media.
What is a heat sensor?
it is a device that turns a measure of heat into an electrical signal it can be digital (on-off) like a switch or it can be analog (0% to 100%) like a mechanical themometer
Where is 1990 Ford Probe speed sensor?
in the 3.0l models it is located right on top of the transmission. It makes a difference in sensors if you have the analog or digital cluster on the dash.
