Thus, the amplifier 34 preferably translates the output signal UMH from the bridge circuit shown in FIGS. 2a and 2 b to a conditioned analog output signal. [0055] The analog signal outputted from the amplifier 34 is preferably further amplified by amplifier 35 and converted into a digital signal for correction, compensation, and/or calibration of its parameters, such as sensor offset, gain, temper
