Noob question (Accelerameter signal manipulation)

Hi all,
I'm new to the world of micro controllers please bare with me.

I'm curious if the arduino is capable of manipulating an analog input signal and then outputting it.

For example, I want to use an accelerameter to weight a fluid, manipulate the signal, then output a volume to an lcd. Can a code be written which will manipulate the input in real time?

Basically yes. It has a 10bit A/D to read analogue signals.
However most accelerometers have a digital interface fo there is no need to read it from the analogue.

Mind you, you can't weigh anything with an accelerometer.

hmmm, what about a strain gauge? I guess i didn't really think that one through all the way...

Yes you can weigh stuff with a strain gauge.
