Modern transducers do not just output raw voltage; they include onboard microcontrollers. These "smart sensors" perform self-calibration, temperature compensation, and basic data filtering directly at the measurement point, reducing the computational load on central controllers. IoT and Wireless Protocols
Characterized by a time constant (e.g., a bulb thermometer absorbing heat). They exhibit a delay before reaching a steady state.
