A signal conditioner takes in the electrical signal, processes it and converts it to a more usable type of signal. They are very helpful in instances where the signal coming from the load cell does not have much clarity to it. A signal conditioner can perform a variety of functions to the signal to make it more legible for the digital measuring devices. it can perform the following functions.
Signal conversion: Covert the signal to a new wave format or a different standard
Filtering: Blocks out all the unnecessary data within the signal and sieves out only the required data
Linearization: Structures the signal to adhere to the physical measurement
Amplification: Increases the resolution of the input or the noise to signal ratio based on the requirements
