Signal conditioning is a basic component of all measurement devices. It converts incoming measurements into a form acceptable to digitization hardware.
Linearization - Often sensors do not have a linear relationship between their signal value and the physical quantity they are measuring. A thermocouple's nonlinear temperature-to-voltage relationship is a prime example. Linearization maps the relationship between a sensor's signal value and the physical quantity it is measuring so that an incremental change in the physical quantity corresponds to a similar incremental change in the signal. It can be implemented in either the hardware or software component of a system.
How can Linearization be implemented in either the hardware or software component of a measurement system?
