Default A question about transducer function

In respect to an autopilot system, can anyone describe the path, more so what happens, from the A/P control in the cockpit to the transducer and lastly the flight controls?
I know what a transducer does. it converts one form of energy into a different form The transducer in this system is a pressure transducer. what type of energy enters the transducer and what does it convert it to in respect to the A/P system?

thanks,
matt
