Assuming we are talking about the oxygen sensor ahead of the catalytic converter, the answer is 450mV with a voltmeter. However, it is very much more involved than a single number, read on...

How to tell if the sensor itself is damaged?

If the sensor is of the less common (but quicker and more accurate) variety of titania:
