General Measurement System

Assigning Specific Value to a Physical Variable

Transducer

Human beings can feel it (roughness, length, sound. color, smell) but cannot sense variables

A transducer converts the sensed information into ta detectable signal

The signal can be mechanical, electrical, optical, or any form that can be meaningfully recorded
