Abstract:
A measurement system for measuring a characteristic of an object, said system comprising:a transducer interfacing with said object to provide a transducer output signal, said transducer having at least one parameter indicative of a transducer transfer function associated therewith;a signal conversion and conditioning circuit, coupled to said transducer, for converting said transducer output signal into an intermediate signal having a voltage amplitude related to said object characteristic and for providing a digital replica signal corresponding to said intermediate signal, said signal conversion and conditioning circuit having at least one parameter indicative of a conversion and conditioning transfer function associated therewith; anda signal processor, responsive to said digital replica signal and at least one of: the at least one transducer parameter and said transducer transfer function, and the at least one signal conversion and conditioning parameter and said conversion and conditioning transfer function, for providing a digital calibrated measurement signal indicative of said measured object characteristic.
