Frequency and pulse signal conditioners accept the output of devices that are designed specifically for frequency measurement. They convert or condition these signals to digital data or levels suitable for digitization. Frequency and pulse signal conditioners can also offer analog outputs. These devices are available from a variety of suppliers located across the United States and around the world.
Frequency and pulse signal conditioners include devices that sense or accept outputs from a variety of frequency-generating transducers and pulse transformer transducers, such as tachometers, flowmeters, and strain gauges such as torque meters. A frequency conditioner isolates a signal and conditions and scales it to where each pulse represents a unit of measure, making it possible to share the data with measurement and data recording devices. For example, frequency and pulse signal conditioners can read a flow switch pulse signal coming from an inline flowmeter through a magnetic pickup on the pipeline and display a reading.

Frequency and pulse signal conditioners may also offer channel conditioning to process information coming from sensors in unsteady environments, such as aerospace or military applications where vibration and noise may hinder clear data acquisition. A frequency signal conditioner or pulse signal conditioner is also an important device in laboratory settings, providing a way to take the raw measurements from sensors and condition their signals so data can be logged and stored on a computer. The conditioning frequency varies between devices.
Frequency and pulse signal conditioners are often used in video signal conditioning, especially when transferring data from one format to another. Video tapes are commonly transferred to digital video devices (DVD), requiring a video signal conditioning device to handle the fluctuations in signals such as picture brightness. Common video signal conditioners include a variety of S-video converters, which allow users to connect DVD players, TVs, and computers without loss of quality in the video signal.
