Abstract
A digital vortex shedding flow measuring transducer (10) includes an optical conductor (20) cantilevered to a conduit (15) accommodating the flow and an optical receiver (35) which intercepts an optical signal from the conductor as the conductor vibrates in response to vortices shed therefrom due to fluid flow thereover.
