Abstract
A sensing device is provided. The sensing device includes a heat regulation mechanism to regulate a temperature of a piezoelectric resonator corresponding to a voltage, and uses a sensing sensor to cause a sensing object to adsorb to and desorb from the piezoelectric resonator by increase and decrease of the temperature. A drive voltage is regulated to regulate an amplification factor of a heat regulation voltage input to a drive voltage regulator that regulates the temperature of the heat regulation mechanism corresponding to the type of a sensing sensor connected to a device main body. Therefore, when a CQCM sensor that heats a crystal resonator using a heater circuit and a TQCM sensor that regulates a heat of the crystal resonator sing a Peltier element are each used, regulation ranges of the driving powers supplied to the respective heater circuit and Peltier element can be changed.
