Comparison of current sensing methods

[Willykilly]

Hi all,
What is the difference between sensors giving current output and sensors giving voltage output? If I have a measuring system that takes only voltage and the if sensor output is current how can I measure the signal? If I pass the current through a resistor to get voltage and measure the voltage, will it not be right method to measure? Which sensors outputs are current?
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the attached table and give this a read:
