Stage 1 :A detector- transducing or sensor-transducer stage Stage 2 : An intermediate stage, which is called the signal conditioning stage Stage 3: A terminating or readout stage
INUPUT IDENTIFICATION
Measured are classified according to their time relationship . According to the rate of variation of the measured with respect to time: is classified into static and dynamic. According to the fashion of variation with time: is classified as analog and digital.
Analog or Digital
Analog quantity The measured varies with time in a continuous manner. For instance, the speed of an automobile, as it starts from rest, and the voltage in utility power lines. Temperature, fluid flow, pressure, stress, and strain are normally behave in analog manner.
Gage for Measuring Pressure in Automobile Tires THIRD OR TERMINATING or FINAL STAGE
The piston-cylinder combination constitutes a force-summing apparatus sensing and transducing pressure to force. As a secondary transducer, the spring converts the force to displacement. Finally, the transduced input is transferred without signal conditioning to the scale and index for read out
As shown in Fig. below, The accelerometer provides an analogous voltage to the acceleration. A filter is used to eliminate the unwanted high frequency components. The signal is then integrated w.r.t. time, thereby providing a velocity-time relation. The signal is then amplified to the level necessary to drive the read out stage. Finally, the output may be in the form of a trace Fig. on 2.3 a Gage for measuringpaper. pressure in automobile tires photographic
