Learning objectives
To state sub-systems in a measurement system
It is also important to mention that a power supply is an important element for the entire system.

Accuracy vs Precision
High Precision, but low accuracy.
High accuracy means that the mean is close to the true value, while high precision means that the standard deviation is small.

Response time
One would like to have a measurement system with fast response. In other words, the effect of the measurement system on the measurement should be as small as possible.

Sensing elements
The portion of a measurement system that responds directly to the physical variable being measured. Sensing elements are usually based on some physical phenomenon of materials to the change in the environment. Typical physical variables are: Temperature, Level, Flow, Pressure, Force, Length, Acceleration, Velocity, Frequency, Time, ..
16
Bias
The amplitude of the sensed signal is usually very small. It needs to be amplified before being processed/displayed.
