Signal conditioning elements convert the nature of the signal generated by the sensing device into another suitable signal form (usually electrical). The signal conditioning units can also be embedded within the sensing devices. An example of such a unit is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD). Here, a change in the temperature of its environment is converted into a voltage signal reflecting its resistance change through a Wheatstone bridge and the bridge is a signal conditioning module.
