The Sensor Transducer Trainer is a modular training system which covers the theory, fundamental concepts and applications of sensors and transducers. The trainer has many experimental modules covering a wide range various type of sensors and  transducers including standard signals processing methods, which are required by many applications.

The trainer consists of a base station into which a number of experiment modules can be fitted.  The base station provides common services required for the modules.  A variety of modules are available which extensively covers the topics of sensors and transducers.  The modules start with specialized electronic principles that are relevant to this area including voltage and frequency conversions, bridge circuits, filters and linearization.  Specific application modules allow for experiments in such areas as temperature and humidity, light, proximity, strain, pressure, flow, etc.

The trainer is suitable for learning about various types of transducers and their instrumentation circuits that area relevant to many fields, such as electrical/electronic engineering, chemical engineering, process control, physics and mechanical engineering.

An experiment manual is provided to guide both of the student and the teacher in operating the trainer and performing the experiments and covers theory as well as practical applications.
