I want to change the amplitude of output voltage in wien bridge oscillator depending on the value of sensor. (maybe pressure sensor)
What element decide the amplitude of output????

It depends on how the amplitude is stabilized. There is more than one method.

Please post your oscillator circuit or a link to it.

This is my circuit.
Depending on what switch is closed, ouput voltage's frequency is changed.
Then, how can I change the amplitude??
Is there any way to change amplitude using variable voltage? (pressure sensor's output is voltage)

The output amplitude is function of power supply voltage and opamp characteristics.

You could try controlling the amplitude by varying the power supply voltage, or you could try a circuit like the one below,, in which case you would put a resistor in series with the anode of D1 and sum current into the anode of D1 through another resistor to modify the ampltude.

The cleanest solution is probably to pass the output of the unmodified oscillator through a gain control circuit such as a transconductance multiplier or multiplying DAC.

Thank you, very much.
But, actually.. I can't use diod or transister in this project TT (It's my professor's rule..)
So I can not use VCA.
I tried to vary the power supply voltage using voltage divider and variable resistor, but there were some errors ..
