Summary:The present invention recited a method and apparatus for providing a para meter of a fluid within a fluid channel using a MEMS resonating element in c ontact with the fluid moving through the fluid channel. Additionally an actu ating device associated with the MEMS resonating element is further provided , such that the actuating device can induce motion in the MEMS resonating el ement. In communication with the MEMS resonating element is an interpretatio n element capable of calculating a parameter of the fluid moving through the fluid channel based upon data from the MEMS resonating element upon actuati on by the actuating device.
