Summary

Chapter Twelve presents the last years' development in conditioning of temperature sensor output signals, including transformation of signal nature, scale and shape. An important part of the chapter is devoted to analogue and digital signal filtering, signal linearisation, detection of characteristic values of measured signal (peak-picker, averager etc.) as well as to digital signal transmission and interfacing.

Construction of signal transmitters, indicating instruments, recorders and temperature controllers is shown in some diagrams and photographs, with their technical data included. New trends in recording such as hybrid recorders and data loggers are described.
