Data acquisition system, in effect, requires integration of:
Sensor/transducer for measurement of physical variables
Signal-Conditioner/transmission circuitry, that enables conversion of signal outputs from transducers to a readable form for Data Acquisition/interface modules.
The Data Acquisition Hardware comprising Multiplexer, Amplifier, A/D Converter, Buffer Memory, etc. to digitisethe analog signals for CPU.
Computer/CPU to process the digital data for data processing, display, outputs (control), storage, transmission, etc.

Definition:-
Strain Gauge is a passive, Resistive transducer which converts the mechanical elongation and compression into a resistance change.

Construction:-
There are many types of strain
gages. Among them, a universal strain
gage has a structure such that a grid-
shaped sensing element of thin
metallic resistive foil (3 to 6μm thick) is
put on a base of thin plastic film (15 to
16μm thick) and is laminated with a
thin film.

Operating Principal:- In capacitive pressure sensor, one of these
metal plates is permitted to move in and out.
Capacitance between them changes due to varying distance between the plates.
The movable plate is connected to a diaphragm which senses the pressure and then expands or compresses accordingly.
The movement of the diaphragm would affect the attached metal plate’s position and capacitance would vary.

Operating Principal:-
Piezoelectric crystals develop a potential difference (i.e. voltage is induced across the surfaces) whenever they are subjected to any mechanical pressure.
Attached to the crystal is a horizontal shaft to which a diaphragm is connected.
Whenever the diaphragm senses pressure, it pushes the shaft down which pressurizes the crystal and voltage is produced.
