Most sensors needs some signal conditioner electronics before digitize the signal.
|
|
|
|
|
Few examples are:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Piezoelectric force sensors
|
|
|
|
|
- Geophone

The signal conditioning electronics can have different functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Amplification
|
|
|
|
|
- Isolation
|
|
|
|
|
- Filtering
|
|
|
|
|
- Excitation
|
|
|
|
|
- Linearization
