ABSTRACT:
A sensor device has a sensor assembly with at least one sensor element, an additional sensor assembly having at least one additional sensor element, and a switch-in element which couples the additional sensor assembly to the sensor assembly responsive to a switch-in signal to obtain an overall sensor assembly having a reduced power demand.
