What is a Transmitter, types/functions and general configuration/calibrations

Question

Accepted Answer

A transmitter is a device that converts a signal from a sensor into a standardized output signal for measurement or control purposes.

Types of transmitters include pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, level transmitters, and flow transmitters.
Functions of transmitters include sensing a physical parameter, converting it into an electrical signal, and transmitting the signal to a control system.
General configuration of a transmitter includes a sensor element, signal conditioning circuitry, and an output signal.
Calibrations of transmitters involve adjusting the output signal to match the actual value of the measured parameter.
Example: A pressure transmitter converts pressure into a 4-20 mA signal for monitoring and control purposes.

Accepted Answer

A transmitter is an instrumentation device that converts physical measurements to electrical signal... Types: Pressure Transmitters, Flow Transmitters, Level Transmitters, Temperature Transmitters & Differential Pressure Transmitters.
Congratulations/Calibrations: With use of a Hart comm 475/375 model, you can zero trim, loop test, (modify/interpolate LRV/URV mostly in Level transmitters. etc.
