Signal conditioning between a sensor and its indicator typically provides

  • A.Electrical isolation only
  • B.Power for the indicator
  • C.Excitation and amplification
  • D.Mechanical support only

Answer: C

Correct answer: Excitation and amplification

Most sensors are passive and produce a very small signal, so the conditioner must both supply the excitation the device needs and amplify what comes back - millivolts from a bridge or a thermocouple.

It usually does more besides: filtering, linearisation, cold junction compensation for thermocouples, and conversion to a standard output. Isolation is often provided but is not the whole of the function, and the conditioner does not power the indicator or support the sensor mechanically.
