Measuring transducer for converting an analogue electrical input signal into an analog electrical output signal

A measuring transducer for converting an analog electrical input signal into an analog electrical output signal, the measuring transducer comprising:

• an electrical signal detection apparatus for measuring an analog electrical input signal within a predetermined input measurement range, wherein the an input measurement range of the measuring transducer is divided into n adjustable partial input measurement ranges and wherein an a defined output range of the measuring transducer is divided into n adjustable partial output ranges, wherein an upper limit and a lower limit are entered for each partial input measurement range and for each partial output range, thereby defining n mapping rules, where n is greater than 1,
• an amplifier and an AD converter connected in series with the electrical signal detection apparatus,
• a digital processing apparatus connected to the AD converter for:
• detecting which one of the partial input measurement ranges the measured analog electrical input signal lies in, and
• mapping the detected partial input measurement ranges to one of the n partial output ranges in dependence of a respective one of the n mapping rules, and
• a DA converter connected in series to the digital processing apparatus, wherein the digital processing apparatus and the DA converter forming a device for converting the measured analog electrical input signal into an the associated analog electrical output signal depending on the detected partial input measurement range, in that the digital processing apparatus uses the mapping rule belonging to the detected partial input measurement range and delivers a digital output signal corresponding to the measured analog electrical input signal to the DA converter and in that the DA converter converts the digital output signal of the digital processor apparatus into the analog electrical output signal,
• wherein each of the partial input measurement ranges is mapped in condensed or expanded form to the respective partial output range, and
• wherein at least one partial measuring input range is mapped in condensed form to the respective partial output range and at least one partial measuring input range is mapped in expanded form to the respective partial output range.
