Abstract
A sensor () includes a plurality of modules (). Each module performs a task. The sensor () includes a control means () that () reads a word (WO) having a plurality of bits, with each bit being associated to the state of execution of the task performed by a module when the sensor () is in an active mode, and () switches the sensor () into a sleep mode when each bit (B, B) is in a first predetermined state. The first predetermined state of each bit is representative of the none execution of the task of the module associated to the bit.
