Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A transducer testing system, the system comprising:
a transducer operably coupled and configured to respond based on exposure to an analog feature;
a drive-sense circuit (DSC) operably coupled to the transducer, wherein, when enabled, the DSC is configured to:
drive an analog signal to the transducer via a single line and simultaneously to sense the analog signal via the single line, wherein the analog signal is compliant with at least one of resistance, reactance, or power requirement of the transducer; and
generate a digital signal representative of the analog feature to which the transducer is exposed;

memory that stores operational instructions; and
one or more processing modules operably coupled to the DSC and to the memory, wherein the one or more processing modules, when enabled, is configured to execute the operational instructions to:
receive the digital signal from the DSC;
process the digital signal in accordance with determining one or more characteristics of the transducer; and
determine a difference between the one or more characteristics of the transducer and one or more expected characteristics of the transducer.
