A sensor for determining at least one parameter with a sigma-delta converter comprises switched input capacitors and feedback capacitors. The first and second pilot symbols are each represented by first and second pilot carriers, respectively, located at first and second predetermined sample frequencies, respectively, in a channel bandwidth. The machine comprises at least one cable feeding device, and a cable processing unit, preferably cutting unit arranged adjustably transverse to a cable axis, as well as a first cable guiding unit arranged\u2014in a feeding direction of the cable \u2014in front of said cable processing unit. Finally, the method also includes ordering the potential destinations based on the presence status of each potential destination. This allows for control of the temperature level and profile by simple adjustment of the voltage between the two external pins. The first end of the first optical fiber is positioned within the interior of the enclosure.
