Abstract

A sensor unit which comprises a sensor, and a detector for detecting an output from the sensor is attached removably to a device case with a display. Data on the basis of detection signals from the detector of the sensor unit is displayed on the display of the case. Thus, only a desired sensor can be provided in the case to thereby reduce the size and power consumption.
