Abstract
A sensor (8) includes a plurality of modules (11, 12). Each module performs a task. The sensor (8) includes a control means (10) that (1) 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 (8) is in an active mode, and (2) switches the sensor (8) into a sleep mode when each bit (B1, B2) 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.
