Basic Measuring System A measurement assigns a specific value to a
physical variable. The physical variable nowbecomes the measured variable.
A measurement system is a tool used to measurethe physical variable.
Methods of measurement can be classified in totwo
Direct methods Un known quantity is directly compared against a
standard Result is expressed as a numerical number
In direct methods In engineering application measurement systems
uses this methods

Basic Measuring System Four Parts of Measurement System
Sensor-Transducer Stage Signal Conditioning Stage Output Stage
Sensor The sensor is a physical element that uses some
natural phenomenon to sense the variable beingmeasured.
The transducer changes this sensed informationinto a detectable signal form (electrical,mechanical, optical, etc.)
A Transducer is a device which converts one formof energy into some other form of energy
It is also known as 'Pickup Element'.

Sensor Mainly Transducers can be classified into two types on
the basis of power supply required Active Transducers Passive Transducers. Active transducers are those which does not requires
external power supply for their operation. For example: Photo Voltage Cell, Piezo Electric Crystal,
Generator etc. Passive Transducers: Passive Transducers are those
transducers which requires external power supply fortheir operation.
For Example: Resistive, Inductive and CapacitiveTransducers.

Signal Conditioner
Its role comes into play when the output oftransducer or primary sensing element is verylow. It is used to amplify or modify the incomingsignal from transducer according to outputrequirement.
When noise is present in signal, filters need to beused to eliminate it.
If the processor operates only on digital signal,A/D and D/A converters must be used at theinput and output of the processor
In other words Signal Conditioning is done toimprove the quality of output of measurementsystem.

Signal Conditioner This optional intermediate stage can be used to
increase
The magnitude of the signal throughamplification,
Remove portions of the signal through somefiltering technique,
Provide mechanical or optical linkage betweenthe transducer and the output range.

O/P stage The output unit of a measurement system is
consists of a display and storage unit
It is used to display or analyze the final outputof the measurement system.
The examples of Output unit can be anyoutput device like CRO (Cathode RayOscilloscope) or XY recorder.

STATIC CHARACTERISTICS
The set of criteria defined for the instrumentwhich are used to measure the quantities thatare varying slowly with time or constant is calledstatic characteristics.
OR The static characteristics of an instrument are
considered for instruments which are usedto measure an unvarying process condition.
