signal and a PC. It could be in the form of modules that can be connected to the computer's ports (parallel, serial, USB, etc.) or cards connected to slots ( MCA, PCI, PCI-E, etc.) in the motherboard.
measurand (Physical input variable) is sensored by the sensor/detector and then transduced to the some electical form. (analogus function). But for the further stages of measurment system it is desired to modify the transduced out put signal into a usable format. Therefore signal conditioning is performed.

amplifiers.
coupled high-gain electronic voltage amplifier with a differential input and, usually, a single-ended output. An op-amp produces an output voltage that is typically hundreds of thousands of times larger than the voltage difference between its input terminals.
Amplitude modulation :-
Fundamentally it is the multiplication of the signal carrying the information by a carrier wave of constant frequency and amplitude. The process of modulation is widely performed by choppers.
nature. With introduction of digital computers, the data taken in a physical system has to be converted into digital form. Therefore A/D conversion devices are used in measurement systems.
faithfully. So it is necessary to eliminate any unwanted spurious signal added at transduction or processing stage. The filters are thus designed to pass the signals of wanted frequencies.
