Mõõteahelates

Mõõteahelates refers to measurement chains in Estonian. A measurement chain is a sequence of components that are used to measure a physical quantity. It begins with a sensor that converts the physical quantity into an electrical signal. This signal is then often processed by an amplifier or signal conditioner to make it more suitable for further analysis. Following this, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) may be employed to transform the analog signal into a digital format that can be processed by a computer or microcontroller. Finally, the digital data is analyzed, displayed, or recorded by a data acquisition system or other processing unit. Each component in the chain has its own characteristics, such as accuracy, precision, range, and response time, which collectively determine the overall performance of the measurement system. Understanding the functioning and limitations of each element is crucial for obtaining reliable and meaningful measurement results. Faults or inaccuracies in any part of the chain can lead to significant errors in the final measurement. Therefore, careful selection, calibration, and maintenance of all components are essential.
