Today's world is dominated by technology that uses either digital or analogue I/O modules to convert physical signals into digital format and vice versa. I/O modules, or input/output modules, are a mechanism by which information is communicated in electronic systems.
IAQ monitoring includes tracking PM, VOCs, NOx, CO₂, RH/T, and more. Sensirion's SEN6x, available through Mouser Electronics, integrates these sensing needs into a single module, reducing system complexity while enabling scalable, compliance-ready solutions.
