| 1. A manifold assembly, comprising:
a manifold having a plurality of hydraulic channels that route fluid to a plurality of pressure ports disposed at a central
location in the manifold; and
a pressure transducer package attached to the manifold at the central location, the package including
a plurality of transducers, each transducer arranged to correspond with one pressure port, wherein each transducer generates
a signal corresponding to fluid pressure in the pressure port;
a processor that receives the signals from said at least one transducer; and
a housing that houses said at least one transducer and the processor and that is attachable to the manifold.
