Abstract
This article deals with the use of smart transducers in the aerospace community. The use of smart sensors has the potential to reduce the cost of installing and operating test measurement systems. Aerospace Test and Evaluation (T&E) community has not fully embraced smart transducers. There are some in use, but they tend to be built to proprietary standards. The IEEE 1451 family of standards addresses the problems that face by this community as well as other transducer users.
