The Compact Transducer Amplifier (CTA) has been developed as a signal conditioner for single transducers based on a DC-Wheaston bridge. Many experiments where only one pressure or force transducer is used to record a signal, do not require the use of mainframe systems including several modules. Also the use of Data Acquisition systems where signals and evaluated parameters are displayed on the PC screen makes displays on amplifiers obsolete. 

The CTA can of course also be used as a preamplifier for any other system requiring the input of an analog signal in a certain range e.g. the Harvard Pressure Controlled Syringe Pump.
