Course overview
Industrial facilities use transducers to convert one type of transmitted signal into another. The Transducers training course examines various industrial transducer types. It discusses their function and describes types of conversions they perform. This online course examines the operating principles behind the most common transducer types. It focuses on:
- Transducer and converter functions
- Variable capacitance transducer
- Variable resistance transducer
- Secondary transducer
Transducers is part of the Signal Transmission and Conversion training series.
