The Sensor Input section configures a single sensor input of the digitizer. The sensor type can be selected as analog or digital, and the signal processing configuration can be visualized in a diagram.
Analog / Digital
Sensors output either analog or digital signals. Analog sensors output a single value that is captured by the digitizer using its analog to digital converter, after which a number of algorithms can be applied to process the sensor value and output it as a MIDI message. Digital sensors convert analog value(s) in the sensor itself and communicate using synchronous serial digital protocol called I2C, which involves exchanging pulse trains that represent bytes between the sensor and the USB-microDig that is received by the digitizer, which then can apply a number of algorithms to process the sensor values and output them as MIDI messages.
When selecting Analog, a number of conversion methods can be selected that may be applied in conjunction with processing methods. When selecting Digital from the pull-down menu, a menu next to it is shown to select the virtual input (that represents the digital sensor's parameter) and its configuration. Also, when selecting Digital, a number of sensor presets can be selected, applicable to the corresponding I-CubeX sensors.
