GENERAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM • A measurement is an act of assigning a specific value to a physical variable. That physical variable is the measured variable. • A measurement system is a tool used for quantifying the measured variable
MeasurementSystemA system is composed of components that worktogether to accomplish a specific objectiveWe begin by describing the components that make up ameasurement system, using specific examples.Then we will generalize to a model of the genericmeasurement system

Sensor & TransducersA sensor is an element in a mechatronic ormeasurement system that detects the magnitude ofa physical parameter and changes it into a signalthat can be processed by the system.Often the active element of a sensor is referred toas a transducer

Sensor ,Transducer and ActuatorsDevices which perform an “Input" function are commonlycalled Sensors because they sense" a physical change insome characteristic that changes in response to someexcitation, Transducers are used to convert energy of one kind intoenergy of another kind, Devices which perform an “Output" function are generallycalled Actuators and are used to control some externaldevice, for example movement or sound
